Our view
“Lady Friday” answers questions that “The Keys to the Kingdom” has long kept open, with Garth Nix’s wordplay intact. Readers tend to place this fifth book below the earlier ones; some find Friday herself thinly drawn and the ending abrupt. Arthur has grown up well beyond his twelve years, and his friends take on larger roles.
