This sequel to Mister Monday picks up only moments after that ended, with Arthur believing he's done with The Kingdom after getting the first Key. But Grim Tuesday has nefarious plans, and he goes after Arthur to get another Key for himself. I see that Tuesday represents greed, and I recognized the Ancient Mariner (although if there's a particular literary reason he's in that world, I don't know it). I liked that Arthur isn't getting any time to rest up as it gives the book a fast-paced feel. Now he's got the awful knowledge he's going to have to fight through the rest of the "week" before saving himself and his world. I definitely want to see more of Leaf and Suzy.
