Review of 'Drowned Wednesday (Keys to the Kingdom, Book 3)' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. Each book has Arthur up against a different set of bad guys and each time the bad guys are very different.

I'm still reminded of the Wizard of Oz series with this series, and still prefer Nix's magica and weirdness as well as the characters.

As a naval action buff, this novel could have given me more, but it had talking rats and I always love a story with talking rats.
