This book just couldn't hold my attention, much like the previous two. I was hoping this one would change my mind. Even though the end is kind of interesting and I would probably recommend this series to kids, this is the last one I'm reading.

The third book is as good as the first, not as witty, not as funny, but it doesn’t have the forced bad humor of the second either. The plot, the pacing, and the mystery were all much better. I guessed the mystery before it was revealed but not until the end of the book.
No world building or magic expansion but there were a few new characters, along with growth for the old ones. Skulduggery's origins were hinted at, making me really want a prequel of the great war when he was alive!
Unfortunately The Faceless Ones ended to be continued, so now I’m going to have to read the fourth book. I wasn’t planning to, but the hint of what was to come looked too good.

Why are Derek Landy's books so good?
Why don't we have magic crimes in our world?
Why don't we have people like the ones in these books in our world? (Well, that one is because we would then all die) but anyway... I found one good quote that realy cracked me up...
"Black lightning streaked from the crystal, and the table turned to dust and the oak box fell heavily to the floor.
Valkyrie stared. "I missed the box."
"Yes, but on the bright side, you killed the table.""
-Pgs 263-264

Was ich an Skulduggery Pleasant so mag, ist, dass die Handlung sehr actionreich ist und es dadurch nie wirklich Langeweile aufkommt. Obwohl das auch bei diesem Band der Reihe der Fall war, konnte mich der Plot nicht ganz packen. In der ersten Hälfte des Bandes habe ich die bekannten Nebencharaktere auch etwas vermisst, und ich hätte gerne mehr über Stephanies Spiegelbild erfahren (aber vielleicht gibt es dazu in den nächsten Bänden ja mehr). Im Vergleich zum ersten Band mag ich Stephanie auch deutlich mehr, habe aber in einigen Momenten doch noch Probleme mit ihrer Art.
Insgesamt hat mich die Geschichte jedoch gut unterhalten und auch das Ende habe ich so nicht erwartet.
