Dark Days by Derek Landy
5.0
11 months have passed and we find out exactly what happened to Skulduggery at the end of Book three.
After the huge cliffhanger of Book three, I had to move straight onto four to find out what happened. What I love about this series is the writing - its so exciting and the description makes me feel like I'm watching a movie. I think it helps even more when hearing it on Audio because the actor does such a fantastic job at narrating and getting all the voices perfectly! A few things are unfolding and we get small tastes of these during all the books but they get forgotten because the main story line sucks you in. I believe these minor things might be the cause to the end of the world.... There were so many great moments in this book and as always here are my favourite ones:
"Tanith: you've got mud on your chin
Valkyrie: Yeah, but I make it work"
"Wreath: I thought we were going to have this conversation within the temple walls
Craven: Walls have ears
Wreath: no they don't, you're thinking of people
Craven glowered."
"Skulduggery: A few days rest, those were the doctors orders
Tanith: yeah well my doctor was the one who tortured me for gods sake, I don't think his opinion really matters do you?"
On a side note; I have been listening to this series on Audio and have loved the soundtrack, only to listen to this installment and find that the soundtrack wasn't there! A bit disappointed...
