It is more urgent than ever for Arthur and friends to move quickly. Despite that, this story seemed more mellow than some of the previous books.

Oh, boy. Arthur is struggling to remain true to himself - and not be so quick to temper. I had trouble relating to the hauteur and anger, but I definitely understood Arthur's need to stay himself.

Hmm. I don't want to give anything away, because this was the finale. And yet, this was the finale, so it was a big deal. And it had a different feel from the other books in the way it was set up. Arthur did less exploring and adventures in the world of the House, and more inner exploring and philosophical thinking (not that philosophy wasn't an underlying note in all the books) about who he is, what he's capable of, how the world should work, how things should be, etc.
The ending was sudden. I can't say I liked it, although things were certainly tied up. Just, whoa.
