A review by netflix_and_lil
Kingdom of the Wicked by Derek Landy
4.0
After a pause, I made my return to the world I so desperately want to run a D&D campaign of - right in time for shit to go off the rails.
This was always a 'filler' book to lead into number eight, but despite its ridiculous length, I still had a great time as usual. It's not S tier by any means but it's got INTENSELY hate-able villains, cool new characters, expansion on the politics of the world and hey, just call this Doctor Strange because now we've got the MULTIVERSE BABY.
What I did find was that Skulduggery, despite being in the title, fell to the wayside a little in this one. It's fine, this is Valkyrie's story, but I was surprised by how little his presence impacted the plot. And of course I'm still missing the love of my life, Tanith, but we've got 7.5 next and her name's on the title. And with an ending of this calibre. I'm all hyped up like my preteen self to jump into number 8. LET THE WATERWORKS BEGIN.
