The Bain Herald

Given that the book has been out for three weeks, I'm curious to see what everyone who read The Keys to the Kingdom thought of the final book.

First I have a general question: Arthur's country reads as pretty much Australia to me, a U.S.-ian, for various reasons; what do Australians and other readers from the English-language market think?

I also think, given that the book is dedicated to Roger Zelazny and Philip Jose Farmer, that I am possibly missing resonances throughout the series by not having read either author. Has anyone here read either author? If you did, are there any similarities, would you say? 

I was going to put spoilers under a cut, but I think I can get by without spoilers (though I imagine comments will have them): basically, I liked the ending. I thought it was a good way to resolve the various dilemmas and did a decent amount of justice to all the plot threads Nix had running. I was highly disappointed in the ending to Superior Saturday, but Lord Sunday was much more satisfying.

So, what did everyone else think? 

Also, I have a more extended review here at my journal.

Also, I ♥ Suzy Blue. I think I need that on a bumper sticker or something.
