Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing With Fire - Derek Landy - Childrens Fiction Category: Books Description: Just when you think you've saved the world! You will kill her? the Torment asked. Skulduggery sagged. Yes. He hesitated, then took his gun from his jacket. I'm sorry, Valkyrie, he said softly. Don't talk to me, Valkyrie said. Just do what you have to do. Valkyrie parted her tunic, and Skulduggery pointed the gun at the vest beneath. Please forgive me, Skulduggery said, then aimed the gun at the girl and pulled the trigger. With Serpine dead, the world is safe once more. At least, that's what Valkyrie and Skulduggery think, until the notorious Baron Vengeous makes a bloody escape from prison, and dead bodies and vampires start showing up all over Ireland. With Baron Vengeous after the deadly armour of Lord Vile, and pretty much everyone out to kill Valkyrie, the daring detective duo face their biggest challenge yet. But what if the greatest threat to Valkyrie is just a little closer to home!?

That didn't really work, did it?

If you haven't read the previous Skulduggery books then what are you doing reading this? Go and read them right now, so that you know what all that stuff in the previous paragraph was about. Done? Good. So now you're on tenterhooks too, desperately awaiting the answers to all your questions, and instead you're going to have to wait to read the book. Sorry about that.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Dark Days - Derek Landy - Childrens Fiction Category: Books Description: It's the fourth Skulduggery Pleasant adventure! only Skulduggery Pleasant himself is lost on the other side of a portal, with only some evil gods for company. Can he possible survive? (Yes, all right, he's already dead. But still.) Skulduggery Pleasant is gone, sucked into a parallel dimension overrun by the Faceless Ones. If his bones haven't already been turned to dust, chances are he's insane, driven out of his mind by the horror of the ancient gods. There is no official, Sanctuary-approved rescue mission. There is no official plan to save him. But Valkyrie's never had much time for plans. The problem is, even if she can get Skulduggery back, there might not be much left for him to return to. There's a gang of villains bent on destroying the Sanctuary, there are some very powerful people who want Valkyrie dead, and as if all that wasn't enough it looks very likely that a sorcerer named Darquesse is going to kill the world and everyone on it. Skulduggery is gone. All our hopes rest with Valkyrie. The world's weight is on her shoulders, and its fate is in her hands. These are dark days indeed.

Bye bye Harry Potter, Hello Mr Pleasant., 11 Sep 2011

Britishwotsit (ENGLAND, SUSSEX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death Bringer (Skulduggery Pleasant - book 6) (Hardcover)

I borrowed the first Skulduggery book a few years back, when i was on my fishing trip to Ireland. (My family have this house in Donegal, which has been passed down the family). When i started reading it of course, i realised that it was actually SET in Ireland, how friggin' awesome.

...So there i was in Ireland, reading Skulduggery Pleasant, as you do. And i thought it was pretty snazzy.

Then i read "playing with fire". Meh.
"Faceless ones" Kinda good.
"Dark Days" amazing.
"Mortal Coil" Wow.

And then i saw Death Bringer. I'd almost forgot about Skulduggery, but i nabbed the book off the shelf at TESCO'S ASAP. And my god, this series has FINALLY, officially, completely won me over.

Everything about it, the characters, dialogue, story, is brilliant, beyond comparison. I haven't been able to relate to the previous books as well, i think this is because it took this book for me to finally tune into the right wave length. Next time... Read more

Another dark and dangerous adventure, 30 Nov 2011

quippe (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death Bringer (Skulduggery Pleasant, Book 6) (Paperback)

Several months have passed since the events in MORTAL COIL. Valkyrie's dating both the vampire Caelan and teleporter Fletcher and remains frightened of her potential to unleash Darquesse. When the Necromancers announce that they have already found their Death Bringer and it's the snotty Melancholia St Clair, she thinks that things might turn out okay afterall. Then she discovers that the Death Bringer will kill everyone in the world. Now she and Skulduggery have 7 days to work out whether and how Melancholia has become the Death Bringer and stop her from destroying the world.

The 6th in Derek Landy's bestselling dark fantasy series is another dark and dangerous story filled with action, tragedy and adventure.

Valkyrie has become a stranger in her normal life, relying more and more on her reflection who increasingly seems to have her own agenda. The scenes between Valkyrie and her baby sister are touching precisely because they force her to confront what... Read more

Brilliant..... but beware with younger children., 7 Oct 2011

S. Knight (York UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death Bringer (Skulduggery Pleasant - book 6) (Hardcover)

I've loved the skullduggery pleasant books since the first one came out and the most recent addition was no exception.

Even after 5 other books the plot twists still surprise me and there is a perfect balance of action, humour, horror and the supernatural. As with Harry Potter I find that much of the appeal comes from the idea of a world of magic which exists parallel to our own without our knowledge. The treatment of the supernatural is much darker than in many of the other fantasy books which are aimed at the same age group. In my opinion this is what allows the stories to work so well and Landy manages to avoid giving the books a dark feel with the injection of dry humour in the characters observations and expressions which make the world feel far less threatening that it would otherwise be.

As always I am often surprised that these books are often marketed for 8-12 year olds. There are often some very gruesome scenes included which could be too much for a... Read more
