Publisher's summary

Arthur doesn't think he will ever have to return to the strange house that nearly killed him on Monday, the house that contains an entire world. But Tuesday brings new challenges in the form of an enemy named Grim Tuesday, who threatens the well-being of both Arthur's family and his world. Arthur must retrieve the Second Key from Grim Tuesday in order to save everything; an adventure that will include stealing a Sunship, surviving a very weird work camp, befriending a bear-like spirit, fighting the void-like Nithlings, and traveling in the scary Far Reaches for the ultimate showdown.

Another Garth Nix Success!!!

After reading the first volume in the Keys to the Kingdom series I was excited to read the second. This book contains non-stop engagement and interesting storylines and plots. This series doesn't quite live up to the standard Garth nix set in the Sabriel series. However,the narrator did a fabulous job creating a vocal personality for every character. I would recommend this to any Garth Nix fan.

love this series, I wish the books weren't so expe

I love this book but it's very expensive for being so short. I'd recommend to buy the physical book, 8 bucks on Amazon

All Time Favorite

This series is my all time favorite. I read the physical copies many times over and when I found the audio books I fell in love with Allan Corduner’s narration. I know many people turned to audiobooks because of Jim Dale, but Allan was my gateway narrator and now I’m hooked!

Love the whole series

I actually read the first six books of the series as a kid. I only recently learned of the audiobooks and remembered that I never read the last one. the story is still just as good as I remember amd the narrator is great for every voice except maybe Susie Blue, who comes off a bit grating.

The only annoying thing about it is a production issue more than anything. Who ever compiled the audiobook didn't divide the chapters at all, instead breaking the books up into approximately one-hour chunks, at least one point even changing "chapter" mid sentence. Not really an issue while listening, but makes it a huge pain to go back and relisten to a specific part of the story.

Better than the previous book in the series. The narrator stopped pronouncing turquoise wrong, for one thing, lol.

Fantastical and descriptive, a great performance!

Garth Nix brings to life an impossible world through text, and Allan Corduner breaths life into that world with his wonderful range and tone.
