On the third day, there were pirates.

Wednesday has rolled around, and Arthur Penhaligon has an invitation to return to the House that he can't refuse. Drowned Wednesday has sent a ship to pick him up from the hospital...even though his hometown is miles away from any ocean.

From hospital room to the high seas, Arthur finds himself on an adventure that will pit him against pirates, storms, explosions of Nothing-laced gunpowder, and a vast beast that eats everything it encounters. Through it all, he is drawn deeper into the central mystery of the House. Arthur must find the third part of the Will and claim the Third Key - not just for himself, but for the millions (if not trillions) who will suffer if he doesn't.

The first step? Surviving life aboard a ship on the Border Sea...

Review of 'Drowned Wednesday' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

If it aint broke, don't fix it. I guess it'll just be the theme for the entire series to hit the same plot points, beat by beat, for the rest of the series. I will say that I enjoyed the pirate adventure backdrop of this book more than the first two, which is why I'm giving it three stars. If the trend continues, I'll probably get bored and rate the subsequent books lower. I'm curious to see where this story ends up, but I wouldn't say I'm very engaged.
