The Faceless Ones

Derek Landy

4.26 AVERAGE


This series is really growing on me. I felt pretty ambivalent after the first one, but this one I really liked. I'm not sure the books are better, I think I'm just getting to know the characters. I've chosen a name for myself...just in case I need it.

Wow!! I think this has been my favourite skulduggery yet! The characters really shine in this one and bounce off each other in such meaningful ways. Also really enjoyed Valkyrie's interactions with Fletcher because it's very rare she gets to hang out with someone her own age.
