3.71 AVERAGE


I enjoy the second book more maybe because I was getting familiarize with the story world. The pacing and storyline are edge-gripping makes me more invested in the story.

By the way, nice joke on financial bankruptcy.

Got so involved in story, read it fast.

this book always feels kind of transitional to me but there are still some good moments

SUPER!!!
Úplne skvelé je na tom to, že aj keď má kniha rovnakú zápletku a základnú osnovu - ARthura utorok vyzve, artur sa musi branit, artur musi dostat kluc - kniha vyznieva uplne inak ako pondelok. A za to Nixovi kvitujem. Mám úplne taký pocit, akoby Nix za tie roky nazbieral nenormálne množstvo nápadov, a teraz to sem všetko dáva... Čo je najlepšie - nepôsobí to ako nepodarený zlepenec, ale všetko dokopy úžasne zapadá:)
A Artura práve pozvala Lady Streda na lančon! Čo môže byť lepšie:)

Of course they're all going to take place over a week (Earth time)...

There's really not much different between Mister Monday and Grim Tuesday. Arthur is starting to accept his fate while at the same time learning more about the rules of the House. It interesting to see him change even in just the first two books thus far.

It's nice to see a bit more of Suzy and also a bit more of the House. I see how they're going to have a different setting and antagonist each day, with an overarching world to tie them together. It's a neat idea and I want to see it all of the way through.

Also, apparently the Morrow Days are the 7 Deadly Sins? Was that ever explicitly mentioned? Sloth and Greed down, 5 to go.

Not quite a 5 star story, but I really enjoyed this book. I'm going to read the rest of the series.
