Our view

“Lord Sunday” brings Garth Nix’s “The Keys to the Kingdom” to a close as Arthur makes his last attempt to reclaim a magical world. Some readers point out that it offers almost no recap of the six earlier books, and the unexpected ending leaves others unsure or unsatisfied. It is written for those who have followed Arthur from the very first volume.
