This book started off very charming and slowly got tedious as it went along. There were times when it was way too much like Harry Potter and other magical stories, which made me cringe. The action scenes didn't drive me to read further and, in general, I wasn't worried about the characters. The writer has actual talent, though and I could see this series becoming something great, but this book was a little too off for me to see it as something great. I'm glad I read it though and I did enjoy it overall.

thoughts well reading last year *the shade this guy is throwing at his family is great, just because you died doesnt mean you can't throw a few last digs at them haha*. Thoughts now iv finished the book, I love the writing its fasted paced with a lot of action. I like the characters dry humour and sarcasm. I like the characters well enough but I don't have any great attainment to them yet but maybe thats just because this book is a children's book and I normally read older YA/ new adult books. defiantly going to read the next one when I need something abit more light hearted and fun.

I absolutely adore this book. I listen to the audiobook at least once a year if I get the chance. Robert Degas does a wonderful job with all the voices, particularly Skulduggery's voice. Just like Valkyrie, I could listen to him speak all day.

I love Valkyrie and Skulduggery's relationship, they are witty and sarcastic and absolutely hilarious and I adore them.

I tried this on the recommendation of a friend. I really enjoyed it. I'm hoping I can get to book 2 soon.
