The Keys to the Kingdom:
Sir Thursday
Garth Nix Scholastic, Inc. © 2006 |
Sir
Thursday is the fourth book in the Keys to the Kingdom series.
The majority of the book follows Arthur’s term in Sir Thursday’s
army and his retrieval of the fourth key and part of the Will.
Another portion of the book returns to earth and the valiant struggle
between Leaf, and the Nithling that impersonates Arthur.
This
book vividly describes war, not as the typical heroism and light, but as the
more realistic blood and horror. Although
the combatants were not human, they shed human emotions to the point that I
would find this book to be too troubling and mature for anyone under the age
of ten.
This
book was wonderfully written, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who
has read the first three.
