The Blurb On The Back:
Skulduggery Pleasant is dead.
Valkyrie Cain is cool.
Omen Darkly is neither.
The tenth book in the bestselling SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT series - and the first of a whole new story arc.
Valkyrie Cain has been out of action for years recovering from the war against her alter-ego Darquesse.
But Skulduggery Pleasant is still fighting to save the world.
When an old enemy threatens to return, he persuades Valkyrie to join him for just twenty-four hours. But they need someone else, someone inconspicuous.
Enter Omen Darkly. Not a warrior. Not a detective. And definitely NOT the chosen one …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 10th book in Derek Landy’s YA fantasy SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT series kicks off a new story arc but you do need to have read the previous novels and novellas. Valkyrie is older and more damaged by her experiences in the previous books but her relationship with Skulduggery remains sharp and entertaining with Landy’s trade mark smart and funny dialogue while Omen is a welcome introduction and I enjoyed his relationship with both Never and Auger.
