I'm still not quite sure how I feel about this book & the ending. It was very strange and very unexpected. Overall, a lot of the characterizations that were being built up were never really explained. There weren't any actual loose end; however, the conclusion felt pretty unsatisfying.

In any event, The Keys to the Kingdom books stand alone very poorly; by the seventh book every character, item and place has significance from earlier on in the book and there is no summarization of previous events. I would recommend re-reading the entire series before starting this. ( )

Arthur finally makes it to the Incomparable Gardens where he must face the enigmatic Lord Sunday and get the seventh key, before the Piper or Saturday. And we finally discover what exactly the Architect's Will is. The exciting/epic conclusion! ( )

Not necessarily the ending I wanted, but I think the only ending it could be. ( )

Good effort. Last in the series. The characters were not as well written as earlier books. A lot of focus on drawing things to a close instead. Enjoyable nonetheless.
Probably reread the others as it is a while since the last book. Maybe a refresher would help.
Don't like finalbooks in series as the endings always make me sad there will not be more. ( )

Overall, everything I was hoping for in an ending to the series.

We get to see a lot of Sunday and Sunday's realm: the Incomparable Gardens. It makes as much sense as anything in the rest of the House, so just go with it.

There's a lot of action, more than any previous book.

It's nice to see a bit more development in Leaf and Suzy.

The ending was... weird. Given the rest of the series, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. ( )
