Capture Grim Tuesday (The Keys To The Kingdom, #2) Developed By Garth Nix Disseminated As Paper Copy

not as outstanding as Mister Monday, this second volume in the series was nevertheless very well written and satisfyingly exciting, Mr. Nix has created a uniquely deep, imperfect world with peril aplenty and villains dastardly, While this volume seemed stalled for the firsthalf, it rapidly gained speed and adventure much like the frightening spikestudded train ridden by Tuesday himself.
The character of The Captain was absolutely outstanding I would love to read a whole series about him alone, For now, though, Lady Wednesday awaits and I am eager to meet her! The second installment in the Keys to the Kingdom series, Grim Tuesday picks up right where Mister Monday left off, mere hours after Arthur has returned home for what he thought would be a five or sixyear break.
Unfortunately, time in his realm does not equate to time in the House, To top it all off, the phone call warning him of mischief afoot gets cut off, leaving him only half in the know, Talk about a lot of creativity, Garth Nix has loads of imagination in this hero journey, I was tickled and intrigued by the plenitude of literary and mythological allusions that are twisted in fun ways, For instance, each protagonist is a day of the week and possesses one of the Seven Deadly Sins Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday, etc, . They are opposed by each paragraph of The Will personifying a complimentary virtue frog/fortitude, bear/prudence, It's interesting to me that a virtue that is taken to excess can be as imbalanced and wrongheaded as a vice, I've read the first two books in the sevenbook series and quite enjoyed the fastpaced romp through an amazingly imaginative world Reading this the first time, I got confused a lot about the House and of the Far Reaches despite that it is already the second book of the series.


Arthur was yet again hauled into another adventure, with Suzy to help him and this time his enemy was the Grim Tuesday.
He bled and broke his legs, he met with the snobbish Will, fought Nothings, defeated the villain but it didn't get through to me emotionally and for that I must say that I didn't enjoy the book as much as I hoped it would

I'm ready for Wednesday though i liked the first book better
overall a nice book to read Another great book in the Series.
I like how Garth Nix introduces new characters as each day proceeds and yet there aren't to many characters to keep track of, The stories finish themselves and yet you know that Arthur is going to have to go back to the House to help put it back in order.

Each book builds upon the previous building to a climax that will end with Sunday, The story uses allies, friends and cunning to get the will that has been misused, Can't wait to get into the next book, I am glad there are onlydays of the week as I am hooked!!! This series is really cute and especially designed for boys under the teen level.
It just has so many creative elements and events that would appeal to the younger set, That being said, I loved it as it's rather different from what I usually read and great for listening in the car,

Arthur Penhaligan, a normal person in theth grade, was somehow selected to become the rightful heir to the Keys to the Kingdom a universe adjacent to Earth that can be accessed through a monstrous house that only Arthur can see.
And this is book two of his adventures outsmarting the Morrow days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc, each one has control on the day of his name.
For example on Monday, Arthur had to deal with and defeat Mister Monday, On Tuesday it is Grim Tuesday and on Wednesday it will be Lady Wednesday, This is a cleverly written tongue in cheek kind of story that actually teaches morality to some degree, Arthur is set by The Will to correct the wrongs done by the Morrow days, The Morrow days aren't really evil but they have been corrupted by greed and the powers they have acquired, Grim Tuesday is a treasure hoarder and has become a slaver in the hopes of gaining more treasures, Arthur is appalled and vows to set the slaves free once he becomes keeper of the second key, Arthur and his ally Suzy Turquoise Blue spend their time in the house trying to get to the treasure tower and find the snippet of The Will that will bestow ownership of the Key to Arthur.
You must keep in mind that Arthur doesn't want to be keeper of the keys to the kingdom, he just wants to return to his normal life but the House and it's denizens just won't allow that since

he is already Lord Monday and the responsibility of the Lower House falls squarely on his shoulders.
The other Morrow days sense disaster in the making and want to wrest control from Arthur's rather human hands, I find this really entertaining and it's fun to read about Arthur and Suzy's adventures and the defeat of the arrogant Morrow days, The second installment in the Keys to the Kingdom series, Grim Tuesday picks up right where Mister Monday left off, mere hours after Arthur has returned home for what he thought would be a five or sixyear break.
Unfortunately, time in his realm does not equate to time in the House, To top it all off, the phone call warning him of mischief afoot gets cut off, leaving him only half in the know,

When mysterious men appear across the street with a Sold sign, and his father receives a call that he owes his record company millions, it becomes quickly clear that something has to be done, and it won't happen in his realm.
With a little luck and help from Leaf and Suzy Blue, Arthur finds his way back into the House, but comes out where he did not expectright at the heart of Grim Tuesday's domain.


The sense of urgency in this race against time is much greater, as greater things are now at stake, The next key, the entire state of affairs of Arthur's entire family back home, the life of the House, Can Arthur save it in time I am enjoying this series so far! I like the characters overall, Arthur can feel a little whiny sometimes, . . but they are usually very relatable, . or well maybe not relatable but reasonable complaints who wouldnt want to be freed from the ginormous and overwhelming responsibility of saving the universe And I have been happy with his decisions/drive to do the right thing.
SUPER!!!
Úplne skvelé je na tom to, že aj keď má kniha rovnakú zápletku a základnú osnovu ARthura utorok vyzve, artur sa musi branit, artur musi dostat kluc kniha vyznieva uplne inak ako pondelok.
A za to Nixovi kvitujem, Mám úplne taký pocit, akoby Nix za tie roky nazbieral nenormálne množstvo nápadov, a teraz to sem všetko dáva.
. . Čo je najlepšie nepôsobí to ako nepodarený zlepenec, ale všetko dokopy úžasne zapadá:
A Artura práve pozvala Lady Streda na lančon! Čo môže byť lepšie: Grim Tuesday is the second book in a series of seven known as the Keys to the Kingdom series each book named after a day of the week.
The first book Mister Monday was a book I reviewed a long while ago, I had a desire to go through and finish the series but needed to reread the first two and a half books in order to do so.
In my review of Mister Monday I expressed that I was bored and kept tying to remember the events of this book as the events of that book.
Coming to this book I knew there was less to get confused and there was only one event that I wasnt sure it if was this book or the next that I remember reading it but I was certain it was the next book but overall it wasnt a major event and didnt disturb my reading.


Going through this book a second time wasnt bad the book held my attention and it was vaguely amusing, Having a familiarity with the book I began to wonder how the main character Arthur got out of one situation that I didnt remember at all to the next situation which I remembered.
Over all I did not remember much of the book but one main event which made things a whole lot easier to read,

The general plot of this book picks up where Mister Monday left off, Arthur awakes to a new day Tuesday glad that the events of Monday are well taken care of and happy to live his normal mortal life for the next several years to discovered that Grim Tuesday has set out to collect a past debt left behind by Mister Monday that Arthur now owes.
Arthur finds that everyone is in financial ruin and there are Denizens the people/creatures of the house where Mister Monday and Grim Tuesday reside causing problems as well.


Despite the fact of not wanting to go back into the House and fight another trustee as Mister Monday and Grim Tuesday are known he goes in and is faced with various challenges to try to get what he needs to fight off Grim Tuesday and take ownership of yet another region of the house just like he had done in the first book only with new challenges.
Which also included an issue with creatures based out of nothing called nithlings which are hell bent on destroying the House structure something that Arthur cannot allow as said destruction would destroy the entire universe considering that the house is also known as the center of the universe.
It is a bit of a whirlwind of a tale and there are hints of something more nefarious going on than just the present issues at hand.


Overall I think I would give the book aout ofpages as it was rather good and kept my attention, I will also say that this book is very much a childrens middle grade book, but still something that an adult can enjoy as well.
