Review Detail

Not my favorite of the series, but a good and important one to Arthur's story.

This is where Arthur really starts to struggle with the possibility of becoming a Denizen. It's hard to watch him trying to do everything. He's fighting to keep himself human and maybe live a normal life with his family again, but he also feels the heavy burden of saving the House (along with the rest of the universe). I can't imagine what it would be like to choose between the only life I know and an eternity with the heartache of remembering all I lost.

Arthur even has to go through a washing between the ears in this one, so that's really interesting to read about. Though it occurs to me it's never explained why this happens (the washing in general, not Arthur's in particular.)

A good book overall. In fact, I think it's the one I remembered the most of from my previous reading of the series.
