The Blurb On The Back:
Skulduggery Pleasant is dead.
Valkyrie Cain is cool.
Omen Darkly is neither.
The eleventh book in the bestselling SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT series.
For years, Valkyrie Cain has struggled to keep her loved ones safe from harm, plunging into battle - time and time again - by Skulduggery Pleasant’s side, and always emerging triumphant.
But now the very thing that Valkyrie fights for is in danger as a ruthless killer snatches her little sister.
With Skulduggery racing to catch up and young sorcerer Omen scrambling along behind, Valkyrie only has six hours to find Alice before it’s too late.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 11th in Derek Landy’s SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT SERIES is another fast-paced, funny YA fantasy novel that sees Valkyrie trying to recover from her emotional and mental trauma and reconnect with her sister. However Omen has little to do other than advance backstory while the plot doesn’t do much to advance the over-arching storyline so although there’s a resolution for one of Cain and Pleasant’s enemies, the book does have a filler feel to it.
