Review of 'Sir Thursday' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Arthur gets drafted.

Here's something I like about this series compared to Harry Potter: As Harry Potter got older, he became more of a jerk and more petulant about fighting the bad guys.

Arthur might be getting tougher, but he's taking on his responsibility and if anything becoming more considerate of the people around him.

[Possible spoiler: No talking rats in this book, but there are hints they'll show up again.]
