Kerlois:
A good day, everyone, and welcome to Mister Monday, for the very last time! Last time, Arthur got home, finally cured the Sleepy Plague and the book ended with a sequel hook. Now it is time for the final thoughts.

Quite some complaining )

Overall

Corneille Blanche: All in all… it is not a bad book, but not a great one, either. It reads smoothly enough and it certainly is compelling, but the plot problems keep it from being what it could be. Sure, they are not so conspicuous on a casual read, but if I am to like a book, it should stand up to deeper examination. So I would say this book passes, though it does not rank very highly.

And that is that! Off we go. (picks up Kerlois and leaves along with Vermaanti)

Scales: Well, that was Mister Monday, then! I’ve finally managed to finish a review! I hope whoever read this had fun reading along with me, and maybe you’ll go on to the book that takes its place: Lord Foul’s Bane. See you there!

A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Mister Monday! Last time, Arthur and Suzy stumbled through all kinds of time periods on the Improbable Stair, and we saw that Suzy’s family is dead. Now… we’ll finally get to see the plan to do something about Monday, when we’re 78% of the way through.

This story actually gets exciting, and it is such a difference. )

Vermaanti:
A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Mister Monday! Last time, Arthur escaped the Clock-Marchers and he talked a bit with Pravuil. We are also slightly over two-thirds in and the actual action of the book has yet to happen. At least it will happen now?

Vermaanti:
A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Mister Monday! Last time, we had a quite large infodump, because the information in this book is not divided very well. This time, we find out just what Arthur is supposed to do.

 

The book turns much better! (It still gets very stupid, though) )

A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Mister Monday! Last time, Arthur managed to get inside the House, and he talked with the Lieutenant Keeper of the Front Door. We left off on Arthur discovering that he doesn’t have any trouble from his asthma inside the House.

 

It's fine, but also boring. (Not a complaint I thought I'd have!) )
