Reviews with content warning for Car accident - Skulduggery Pleasant

I really enjoyed the banter between the main characters, it took the edge off what was quite a dark plot. The characters are all interesting and unique. There are some tongue in cheek nods to other books in the genre. There is a lot of violence in this book especially towards the end so even though it's middle grade may be a bit much for the kids at the younger end of this age bracket.

was super interested in this series after reading most of the artemis fowl books in 6th grade, i am now a high school graduate and only just now got around to reading this bad boy. fun little YA romp, full of spellcasters using cheesy aliases and irish-isms that took me a second to understand, really grew on me the further in i got. i didn't like stephanie a lot but like,, she's a rude little shit 12 year old, i can't act like it's unrealistic yknow? all in all probably would have been a little better to me were i still a 6th grader but still a worthwhile read, i'll probably keep reading this series once i've worked through more of my backlog
