Publisher's Summary

Following the shocking revelations of DARK DAYS, get ready for the fifth instalment of the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series – guaranteed to contain at least 40% humour, 50% action, and 100% thrills…

"The blonde girl with the black lips turned to Valkyrie. 'We know,' she said. 'We've seen the future. We know you're going to kill the world…'"

Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are back – just in time to see their whole world get turned upside down…While they struggle to protect a known killer from an unstoppable assassin, Valkyrie is on a secret mission of her own. This quest, to prevent her dark and murderous destiny, threatens to take her to the brink of death and beyond. And then the body-snatching Remnants get loose, thousands of twisted souls who possess the living like puppets, and they begin their search for a being powerful enough to lead them. Facing such insurmountable odds, Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other…

Great book, lacklustre narrator

probably the best Skulduggery pleasant book so far but the narrator was very unimaginative. Rupert Degas is by far the better narrator.

Cool new intro song

Overall, the best part aside from the actual story is the new little intro jingle/song. It's a real banger

Story was good but quality control annoyed me.

Whomever did quality control missed things like wrong character names after dialogue, I.e characters X,Y,Z are doing a thing X is basically carrying Y who’s practically unconscious. Z scouts ahead, however, when the scout report is said it’s labeled as Y’s dialogue not Z’s.
Happens several time’s in the book and is quite annoying.
However the story is good flows well, still getting used to the new narrator just the quality control ruined it in places.
