It was OK, but the series had pretty much lost my interest by now, and I just wanted it to be over.
WOWZA. WHAT THE HELLISKI DID I JUST READ?! O M G.This was certainly worth the wait to finish. Garth Nix didn't disappoint me one bit. Yet I still think there should have been a bit more to it, especially at the end. Nevertheless Nix certainly created a series worth rereading over again. I was fasc...
I was excited to finish this series after reading the other six books two years ago. This was a really satisfying finale that did a good job of tying up all of the loose ends. Nix struck a really good balance with how he dished out the final effects of the war- not too much tragedy, but just enoug...
What a spectacular conclusion to this series! I just can't say enough about this series though it is for young people (7-12 would be my guess), I totally enjoyed it and even laughed out loud while listening in my car. There is never a dull moment and our hero, Arthur, who doesn't want the job, take...

I was concerned with how Nix would end the series. I was afraid he would take the easy way out and have everything just be a dream or a magic wand would return everything to normal. But instead he came up with an interesting and appropriate ending for this excellent series.
This seventh and concluding volume in the Keys to the Kingdom series has two tasks: To wrap up the action of the first 6 books, and to depict adolescent struggles with identity and responsibility. As to the former, there is plenty of swashbuckling, giant pointy bugs, explosions, and the like. The pl...
A mostly satisfying end to an enjoyable series. What I enjoyed most about this series was the terrifically interesting, elaborate and unusual world he created for his characters to run around in. The various realms within the house were fantastic, and the overall structure of the house was superb,...
