Grim Tuesday by Garth Nix

As I've said before, this series is a re-read at this point. I read it way back in middle/high school—honestly can't remember—but I've soon forgotten a lot of the stories that I feel re-reading it is necessary, especially since I JUST bought the last instalment (Lord Sunday). Now that the story has progressed, there are some pieces of the puzzle, which before weren't even apparent yet, now start to come together. I think I enjoy that the adventure is not like most stories in the genre, where there is the guide from the other world always ready to help the hero every step of the way—or the hero almost always knowing what to do to solve the problem. I absolutely love how Suzy has become more of an accomplice, by this point, and how she seems to always be the one to save Arthur. I'm also loving the Captain very much! Nothing like a character with considerable freedom and unexpected appearance to live up a story. Speaking of unexpected appearances, well, it's quite an interesting turn of events to know that the enemy might not just be the concerning Morrow Day from the title. I can't wait for Leaf's role to become more prominent!
