ON THE THIRD DAY, THERE WERE PIRATES.

Wednesday has rolled around, and Arthur Penhaligon has an invitation to return to the House that he can't refuse. Drowned Wednesday has sent a ship to pick him up from the hospital, even though his hometown is miles from any ocean.

From hospital room to the high seas, Arthur finds himself on an adventure that will pit him against pirates, storms, explosions of Nothing-laced gunpowder, and a vast beast that eats everything it encounters. Through it all, he is drawn deeper into the central mystery of the House. Arthur must find the Third Part of the Will and claim the Third Key - not just for himself, but for the millions (if not billions) who will suffer if he doesn't.

The first step? Surviving a life aboard a ship on the Border Sea . . .

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

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.
