Drowned Wednesday (Keys to the Kingdom, Book 3) by Garth Nix

Format: Book

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

Blurb:

Drowned Wednesday sweeps Arthur Penhaligon from a hospital bed into the Border Sea, where an immense, gluttonous mariner-queen awaits. To win the Third Key, he must endure pirates, monstrous creatures, treacherous magic, and strange alliances while racing to rescue friends and outwit a deadly pirate lord.

My review:

Well, what can I say, I’ve outdone myself and managed to read Drowned Wednesday (Keys to the Kingdom, Book 3) in under two weeks. Not often does that happen.

As I said before, Garth Nix has let his mind run wild with this series but in my opinion it works well. The story is fast paced and fun to read. The entertainment value is high. There was no talking eye brows in this book but I lived, as I'm sure most readers will. Strangely, the very last paragraph didn't make sense to me. I suppose it was a set up for the next book - Sir Thursday (The Keys To The Kingdom, Book 4) - but maybe I missed something in the storyline - I'm really not sure.

No matter, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to all young at heart readers who enjoy wacky stories.
