Harry Potter but with Gothic horror, anarchic dark humour, delightfully non-age-appropriate violence and emos. Also there's skeletons and vampires and scythe guys and a dash of cosmic nightmare and fireballs and bullets and scary hands and vampires and bullets. Derek, you done good. 10/10 would recommend to everyone

OK so all the Skulduggery Pleasant books are more violent and dark than your average kids/YA fare and this one is no different. Kids 11-14 will probably just find the violence fun tbh.nonidude's review against another edition

This book was simply a delight to read!
The characters are so well done and unique, but the dialogue is the thing that makes it stand out to me. It's so witty and smart. I found myself laughing aloud many times!
The action is fast-paced, and the plot is intriguing with some twists without getting too complex. It kept me entertained from start to finish, and I can't wait to read the next in the series!
