Our view

“Superior Saturday” is an inventive, morally searching sixth volume of “The Keys to the Kingdom”. Garth Nix builds Saturday’s realm in rich detail, while Arthur grows a little less human with each step towards his goal. Readers tend to agree that it ends abruptly, reading more like half of a larger book than a story complete in itself.
