However, he left most of his work to Superior Saturdayhaving no interest in the House and performing his job until it was necessary when Saturday attacked the Incomparable Garden. This was a disguise to fool Arthur. Later on he reveals his true form as a Superior Denizen. He is over 10 feet tall, with dark, intense eyes. Sunday wears a chain around his neck with a small golden key looped upon it. This is later revealed to be the Seventh Key. Sunday has never been seen wearing wings, as he rides a Dragonfly to move around the Incomparable Gardens. Book 7) Sunday's Key is quite literally a small, golden key which he wears around his neck. Despite its Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom, it is the most powerful Key in the House, managing to overpower the combined power of the Fifth and Sixth Keys. Lord Sunday is the eldest son of the Architect and was given the best domain when she left. He rules over the Incomparable Book 7), the highest area of the House and the source of Superior Saturday's envy. Lord Sunday tends to the Gardens constantly, which he rarely leaves since the Architect left. Lord Sunday takes things that he likes or enjoys into the Gardens as 'Exhibits', his favourite of which are in the Elysium. It was revealed in Lord Sunday that the Incomparable Gardens, not part of the House itself, was Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom epicentre of the universe. Lord Sunday is one of the most superior Denizens if not the most superior. This and getting the highest area in the house has caused him to become afflicted with pride. After losing his Key he completely surrendered and suggested that Arthur kill them Book 7). The Piper commented that "he was always to proud to fight to the end. This is shown when he signs all his letters witha single S and comments that even if Arthur interfers, "it will make very little difference in the end. However this was only when he was in possession of his Key. Lord Sunday is an extremely powerful Denzien. He is the eldest son of the Architect and Old One, and was given the seventh key, along with domain of the Incompable Gardens. With the seventh Key Sunday is considered to be a powerful foe. He could easily silence Arthur and call down lightning that destroyed several of the Mariner's sailors. Along with his unique size, Lord Sunday is shown to be quite strong. He could easily jump down fifty feet and is strong enough to imprison Part Seven of the Will in a cage of death, that Book 7) only be opened by his Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom and the Mariner at the cost of his life and presumably the Book 7). The Denizens are Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom skinned. It is unknown who the new Dawn, Noon and Dusk will be, or if they will be the same. Lord Sunday was killed by Nothing when Dame Primus connected with the Old One who had been freed from his clock-prison. It is unknown if he would be revived by the New Architect, however since Suzy wanted to be Lady Sunday this is unlikely. Sign In Don't have an account? Start a Wiki. Contents [ show ]. Categories :.

The air rushed past him, stinging his eyes and ripping at his hair and clothes. He knew it was an illusion, but it felt like the wind was holding him up, rather than rushing past. In his left hand he held the small mirror Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom was the Fifth Key, and in his right he clutched the quill pen that was the Sixth Key, which he had wrested from Saturday and taken with him over the edge. Because of this, Arthur felt powerful, Book 7) and not at all afraid. He looked down at the tower below him and laughed — a deep, sarcastic laugh that was not at all like his normal laughter. He was about to laugh again when Part Six of the Will, in its raven form, caught up with him, its claws latching on to his hair and digging into his scalp. Instantly, Arthur lost his sense of euphoric invincibility and came back to his senses. He properly took in the speed of his descent for the first time and saw that he was going to hit the tower very, very soon. He was going to miss the actual peak, he saw, and crash into the main part, some fifteen levels below. His mind halted in panic and all he could do was stare at the tower, tears streaming from his eyes because the wind was rushing by so fast. He found himself flapping his arms as if somehow that might help, and he was screaming, and then—. He crashed into a flying Internal Auditor, who screamed as well. He tried to transfer the Sixth Key so as to hold both Keys in his left hand, but in that vital moment the Denizen kicked free and dived away, his wings folded back. Arthur fell again, but the collision had checked his speed. He had a few seconds to take action and his brain finally got back to work on problem- solving, instead of gloating over the Sixth Key or cowering in fear. He knew there was no way to avoid colliding with the tower — unless he never actually arrived there…. A hundred feet from impact, Arthur somersaulted into a swan dive. Stretching his arms out below his body, he drew several steps in the air with the Sixth Key. The pen left glowing trails of light, which instantly Book 7) on the appearance of solid white marble steps. Arthur hit hard, immediately tucking himself into a ball to roll down the Improbable Stair. As he bounced and tumbled over each step, he knew he had to get his speed under control. Even when he stuck out his leg, he only tumbled sideways — and kept falling. Climbing up the Improbable Stair was bad enough, with the chance of coming out on some random Landing anywhere in time or space. Falling down it — completely out of control — was even worse. It Book 7) possible to end up somewhere you particularly do not wish to be, the Old One had said. Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom was more like falling down a slide than a staircase, much more so than could be normal or natural. Arthur grimaced as his funny bones were repeatedly jarred. Before his transformation from a mortal boy into a Denizen or whatever he had become, he would have been screaming with pain, and Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom arms would have broken like sticks. But the Keys, and his use of them, had changed his bones, skin and blood beyond anything a doctor would recognise as human. Arthur was afraid there were other changes too, changes inside him that removed him even further from humanity, things that went beyond his new size, strength and durability. But this was a distant, nagging fear that was currently overwhelmed by his current panic. Book 7) rolled on to his back, gasping as the front edge of each step smacked him in the backbone. He put the Sixth Key in his Book 7), so he would have a hand free. Then he raised the mirror of the Fifth Key, held it in front of his face and tried to focus on it as he continued his juddering descent. This was Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom hard to do. Which meant he also had to stop thinking about Doorstop Hill or any parts of the House that he knew had already been consumed by Nothing. So much of it was gone already, as the Void spread Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom the House, destroying everything in its path. Arthur yelled to himself. Think of somewhere safe. Somewhere easy. Instead he rolled over again and grabbed at the next step with his free hand, his fingernails raking across the marble, down one…two…three steps. Arthur sighed and dropped the Sixth Key from his mouth to his bloodied hand. He slowly stood and set his foot on the next step. It was time to start climbing back up, while thinking hard about where to come out. He was just about to start doing this when the Stair disappeared in a flash of bright white light. He fell forward into a hole full of evil-smelling mud. The Stair, as it always tried to do, had thrown him out on to some random Landing, which could be Book 7) in the Secondary Realms, and could also be at any time in the past. Arthur almost went face-first into the mud, but Book 7) recovered his balance in just enough time to stagger forward and crash Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom a sandbagged earth wall instead. He bounced off that, went back into the hole and windmilled his arms desperately for a second, before ending up planted backside-first in about a foot of yellow, stinking mud. He sat there long enough to make a face, then slowly got back to his feet, the mud making a popping sound as he rose. There were other stranger noises too, distant high-pitched electronic squeals that hurt his ears. Arthur looked around. But that thought only lasted for a moment. He was in a trench all right, but the mud was a lurid, unearthly yellow and stank of sulphur. The sandbags, now that he looked at them properly, were pale blue. The zinging noises were getting closer. The only question was whether the Fifth Key would work if the Improbable Stair had dumped him off somewhere back in time, as Book 7) as Book 7) the Secondary Realms. Theoretically, as he had two Keys, he could enter the Improbable Stair pretty much anywhere, but he knew in practice it was bound to be more difficult, and there was a very good chance that his next trip on the Stair would take him somewhere worse than this. Then he replaced the bag safely inside the pouch of his utility belt. Even though the yellow mud looked like it was boiling, it felt cold — and if Arthur felt it, that meant it was very cold indeed. In only a few Book 7), he developed a long, thin Book 7) of ice crystals that sparkled from his chin down to his chest. The sunlight, though very bright, was more red than yellow, and he could feel no noticeable heat from it on his face or hands. He was thankful that he could, but Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom also sent a pang through him, another reminder of what he had become and what he no longer was. He spun round just as something jumped down from above the trench. It was a flash of movement and it took a moment for Arthur to process that at its heart was a seven-foot-tall armoured stick insect, holding a Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom in its first lot of spiked forearms and pointing it at Arthur. Before he could react, he heard the squealing noise up close for the first time and felt a savage pain as golden blood suddenly boiled out of a hole that went straight through the bicep of his left arm. Arthur turned the mirror and directed his will. The insect was cut cleanly in two. But the top half continued to scrabble towards Arthur, and the forearms tried to aim the tube again. Arthur, furious and in Book 7), directed his anger through the mirror. This time the Fifth Key conjured up a roaring column of fire that stretched from the ground up into the stratosphere and completely incinerated everything in the trench in front of Arthur for at least a hundred yards. As the Book 7) column slowly sank back to the ground, Arthur spun around again, checking behind him. Thousands of stick-insect soldiers were marching towards him, all perfectly in step, all holding those squealing tubes. I could kill them all from here, thought Arthur. He felt a feral grin Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom to spread across his face, before he pushed it away. They might look like giant stick insects, but obviously they were sentient beings, as technologically advanced as humans, perhaps even more so. So what? I could kill ten thousand humans as easily as ten thousand alien insects. He began to raise the mirror, visualising an even bigger, more awesome column of fire, one that stretched from horizon to horizon, saving only him from the inferno. He forced his self-righteous pride and anger back. All I have to do is leave. As Arthur struggled with his thoughts, the mirror remained constant. He saw only his reflection, the now all-too-perfect face, so handsome that even a beard of frost could not lessen his unearthly beauty.

Now he was falling a very, very long way down. No wings, thought Arthur. No wings!

He knew there was no way to avoid colliding with the tower — unless he never actually arrived there… A hundred feet from impact, Arthur somersaulted into a swan dive. I have to stop, he thought. I have to get off the Stair! But he stopped. He tapped one, Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom his knuckles sank in a little bit and then bounced back. Foam, thought Arthur.

Saturday's forces are pressing into the Incomparable Gardens, but are also engaged in a fierce struggle to keep the Piper and his army of Newniths at the bottom of the Upper House. Suzy is being held captive by the Book 7) but forgetful Giac, a Sorcerous Supernumerary meaning he failed his final sorcery exams. She, with some help from the sixth part of the Will, persuades Giac to free her and accompany her to the Citadel in the Incomparable Gardens. On Earth, Leaf, responsible for the Sleepers from Lady Friday, struggles to cope with the aftermath of a nuclear strike and desperately needs help, especially since she herself has become a target for intruders from the House, namely Lord Sunday's Dusk and his 'pet'.

It is then revealed that the Door is filled with Nithlings and is collapsing through contamination by Nothing.

To view Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom, click here. I'm staggered by the ending, though. It's totally unexpected and, while things come out sort of okay in many ways, it's terribly tragic in others. The author also does a good job not making every single Book 7) follow neatly or tie up the way one expects. This adds a sense of realism - although also, as you might expect, some confusion. Small but slightly twitch point: the last part of the Will, and Lord Sunday, both fail at telling Arthur important stuff somewhat relative to their differing definitions of "important". They try to, but they keep getting interrupted and stuff. The power of plot compels you! BUT, I mostly enjoyed the book. I felt Book 7) was a little slow to get Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom, and some of the writing a tad clunky, but once it grabbed me, it didn't let go. Following are the highlights of my reactions to this book. Wow, they nuked the hospital. I, uh, really didn't think they'd nuke the hospital. Where were Leaf's family when this happened again? Arthur's transformation is pretty neat. This is one of those excellent plot twists that jars you when you first read it, but then you go, "Of course! I like Elephant in this book, but I do think it's a slight faltering that when it appears a couple of books back, there's kind of a, "whuh? So the Architect. Oh, wait, no it doesn't. Seriously, though: she had Book 7) do all that just to free the Old One? Wouldn't it maybe make more sense for Nix to have just said that the Architect couldn't destroy herself without destroying all her creation, and leave it at that? It's really kind of weird that she had to destroy all of everything to break bonds that, um, she created. And all. Possibly literally! Book 7) and the New Architect. This is trippy. Also, didn't the New Architect specifically say he wasn't going to split off a part of himself like the previous one had? Guess he just changed his mind? Even though it's POV-hopping, which happens sometimes in this book and annoys me a little, I really like the line where the New Architect tells Arthur he's mortal. That's really sad! Everyone in the House who wasn't Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom the Elysium! Is dead! I mean, none of these characters was very deeply characterized, but still! The new Arthur awakes thinking it's been just moments, but the new Arthur is wrong about a few other things, isn't he? I am kind of Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom by the not-really-resolution of my, "Will Suzy or Leaf become a romantic interest for Arthur? Neither of them does within the book. This might just be Book 7) they kind of don't have enough time together to manage it, but I still sort of appreciate that Nix doesn't toss in an obligatory hero-gets-the-girl at the end somewhere. Though it cracks me up that Arthur will go back to Earth with Leaf where he will presumably live out his life until the day when the New Architect deems the time right to tell him that he can't die? Heck, even if he'd made a just slightly more generous offer to Arthur Lord Sunday (the Keys to the Kingdom saving the Universe, Arthur might have actually accepted.
