16. Title: The Keys to the Kingdom Book Seven: Lord Sunday
Author: Garth Nix © 2010

Review in five words or less: Unexpected, surprising; satisfying series ending.
Personal Rating: «««« out of five.
"On the seventh day, there was a choice."
In the seventh and last book of The Keys to the Kingdom series, the House is quite literally dissolving into Nothing. The only viable area seems to be Lord Sunday's domain, which is known as the Incomparable Gardens. With his own world on Earth in chaos, it falls to Arthur to fulfill his destiny by trying to find and release Part Seven of the Will and confronting Lord Sunday for the last Key.
I was quite shocked by how all of this ended. It certainly wasn't what I expected at all, but it does make a lot of sense given the many biblical references found throughout all of the books. Nix does a great job balancing all of the many elements and forming a cohesive story. It was witty, entertaining, and full of surprises. Highly recommended to fans of the series.
