Superior Saturday (The Keys to the Kingdom #6)
Arthur Penhaligan has wrested five of the Keys from their immortal guardians, the Trustees of the Will. But gaining the Sixth Key poses a greater challenge than any he has faced before. Superior Saturday is not just one of the Trustees – she is also the oldest Denizen and the most powerful and knowledgeable sorcerer within the House. She has tens of thousands of sorcerers at her command, and she has been preparing her forces all along for the Will’s escape and the activities of the Rightful Heir.
As Saturday’s schemes become evident, Arthur is beset on all sides. The House is being destroyed, and only the power of the Keys can hold back the tide of destruction. Arthur’s home city is under attack. His allies are unreliable. He can’t even get into the apparently impregnable Upper House . . . and even if he does, finding the Sixth Part of the Will and gaining the Sixth Key might not be enough to counter Saturday’s bid for ultimate power.
The Stakes are getting higher and higher. Can Arthur survive?
Quite the cliffhanger. Glad I had the next one ready to go.
After the wait between Lady Friday and the publication of Superior Saturday, it took a little while to first remember what had happened previously and to get into the mindset of all things Keys to the Kingdom. I have to marvel at Garth Nix's scale of imagination - far surpasses my own, and so I struggled with picturing Staurday's tower of iron cubes and chains. It was engaging, and Arthur's own changes and attitude were interesting to read about but it all sort of smacks of a sandwich with no
All I have to say about this one is.... it's a good thing I don't have to wait to read the Next one.
[Definite TRRTBR this series - even though I disliked Abhorsen as an adult, I feel these will be different...]
Review to follow after i have read the 7. book as 5 and 6 are more or less one continuing storyline
I really couldn't put this one down. Arthur is a character to be enjoyed through the process of reading the novels and as he grows, just in the dame way your enjoy reading about Harry Potter growing up and his trials along the way. The world is just as complex too.

My god. Perhaps the greatest one so far. And there was me being all scared because the last one was crap. Nix, you do not disappoint! (again)So. Our dear author has decided to dash the successful formulaic system that was one of the signatures of The Keys to the Kingdom: The Sixth Key was not claimed, Saturday was not defeated. The book ends on a real cliffhanger this time, not just leading onto the next book. I wonder at this point about Sunday's intentions. He could be like Wednesday; willing.Quite the cliffhanger. Glad I had the next one ready to go.
