Garth Nix built a story like no other. Using the old theme of parallel universes and kingdoms he transformed a normal 13 year old boy into a hero that holds the primary key to the universe. Using the seven deadly sins, the seven days of the week and seven different values, we are taken into a House where everything came from. Arthur Penhaligon and Suzy Blue are two amazing characters, Arthur: a normal boy, asthmatic, not too confident about himself, intelligent and thoughtful. Suzy: a young girl, sensitive, impulsive, strong and brave. Both make the story seem real and really adventurous. There are other great secondary characters as well, Monday's Noon: the bad guy, loyal servant, strong and fierce. Monday's Dusk: A dark character, a rebel, helps Arthur through some complicated stuff. And finally, Mister Monday and The Will. Overall the story is amazing, Garth Nix is really an incredibly imaginative author and everything he writes is always a great story. I'd recommend this book to any fantasy fan or any fan of a really good story. Also read: Grim Tuesday, Drowned Wednesday, Sir Thursday and Lady Friday
