About this listen

Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are back in their most gripping story yet, as book 11, Midnight, picks up where Resurrection left off – and runs.

For years, Valkyrie Cain has struggled to keep her loved ones safe from harm, plunging into battle – time and time again – by Skulduggery Pleasant’s side, and always emerging triumphant.

But now the very thing that Valkyrie fights for is in danger, as a ruthless killer snatches her little sister in order to lure Valkyrie into a final confrontation. With Skulduggery racing to catch up and young sorcerer Omen scrambling along behind, Valkyrie only has twelve hours to find Alice before it’s too late. The clock is ticking…

Derek seemed to not know where to take the story in this one. Disappointed, sadly.

A bit all over the show.

Derek Landy unfortunately doubles down on his ham-fisted political advocacy, manipulating well-loved fictional characters to parrot and parody political messages on immigration, free speech, gender concepts and more without a shred of subtlety and without contributing a mite to the story. Time is wasted, diverging from the core narrative and previously wonderful character building I so loved these books for, to instead focus on 10-minute-long tirades which serve no purpose but to support a modern political point of view. It isn’t just passing phrases, it’s quite literally passing chapters.

The speaker’s Irish heritage adds an air of authenticity to Landy’s writing and the geographical setting for the most part, and performance for that part is mostly fine. However, the world of SP features many international accents from drawling Texans to full-blooded Australians, and the speaker very obviously struggles with these. Accents drift and change during sentences, which makes several interactions actually difficult to follow, as one person, for instance, swaps between faintly Australian, South African, New Zealander, and distinctly Irish from word to word.

An all round enormous disappointment, with less redeeming than condemning factors. The classic, enthralling Landy storytelling is dead, and he killed it himself. I cannot honestly recommend this book to anyone, and even less so for fans of the series. Seriously saddening.

Disappointing.
