Grim Tuesday

I enjoyed the second book in this series immensely more than the first. I got through it quite quickly and am excited for the third. I picked it up at the bookstore yesterday, in fact.

Summary: Arthur has just taken control of the lower house and wants some time to himself, but after only a few hours after returning to his secondary realm, the special red phone rings. There are problems. The original Mister Monday had massive amounts of debt and Grim Tuesday wants to take control of the lower house in payment. But before Arther can figure out what to do the phone is cut off due to lack of funds! Arthur finds himself in another adventure that leads him into Grim Tuesdays territory and eventually a showdown with Grim Tuesday himself for control of Tuesday's domain!

Other: I like the names and the whole world that Nix has created. Nix creates amazing worlds for his books. I loved the seventh tower series when I was young.

Favorite Parts:
1. The phone is cut off due to lack of funds.
2. Arthur must pretend to be one of Grim Tuesday's indentured servants and creates allies.
3. Arthur finds the second part of the will and it's a right pain in the you know what.
4. The showdown between Arthur and Grim Tuesday.
5. Arthur must stop the nothing from erupting! Strange events indeed.
