This book was absolutely amazing!! In my opinion, great for ages 10-16. I got introduced to this series by my uncle, and he made a great decision.

My favourite quote in this book HAS to be "What about me? Can I hit you?". Skulduggery just has this amazing sense of humour that never gets old.

I highly recommend this book to all the mystery/thriller lovers out there. Great book!!

I laughed for the first time in ages. Definitely worth the read/listen.

blurb
EmbarrassedDragon234

"How about me?" Skulduggery said as he ran up behind him. “Can / hit you?" The man in black released Valkyrie and turned, too late to stop Skulduggery's fist from smacking into his jaw.

LEFT HOOK! Hehehe!

You know, the more I think about it the more I think that Skuls reminds me of Stan Pines in an off way, what with the "Little bit of crime," punching, and general nonchalance about what's appropriate for a 13 year old.

blurb
EmbarrassedDragon234

"Shut up. But anyway, all of Dad's cousins will be there, with their families, people I hardly know, and of course Beryl and Fergus and the Toxic Twins, and it's pretty much going to be horrible, so there's no way in hell that l'm going."

"Well, that's good enough
for me."

He started the engine, and she sat low in her seat as he pulled out onto the road and started driving.

You're a wonderful role model Skulduggery. Never change

This series for me is kind of like Harry Potter. They are books that I never wanna put down and continue to read.

Finally getting into a few of the books I meant to read sometime in primary school. Fortunately, this book is still entertaining as a somewhat older child. My friends assure me it gets more serious in later books, which I am looking forward to!

Reveurs I think I enjoyed it but must've been 5+ years since I read them 6y

Kenspeckle nodded. "I used a new mixture.The ingredients are a little harder to find, but for my favourite patients I like to make sure the healing process is as painless as possible."
"I'm on that list?" Valkyrie asked, her smile growing wider.
Kenspeckle snorted. "You ARE the list."

Re-listening to this one. Rupert Degas voices The Torment as Emperor Palpatine! 😂 Really though, he's the Emperor's voice in some of the video games. Super creepy to suddenly hear it in the middle of a scene with Skulduggery and Valkyrie. Love his voice and these books!

Very witty and good fun. Will be gradually making my way through the rest of the series.
