    About this audiobook

    Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are back in their most gripping story yet, as book 11, Midnight, picks up where Resurrection left off – and runs.

    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 in order to lure Valkyrie into a final confrontation. With Skulduggery racing to catch up and young sorcerer Omen scrambling along behind, Valkyrie only has twelve hours to find Alice before it’s too late. The clock is ticking…

    Derek Landy

    Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. "I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave," he says, "or she would be if she were dead."

      Death to Character Descriptions

      Dec 27, 2018

      Here’s the secret to writing compelling character descriptions: Cut them out entirely. A writer’s most powerful tool is the reader’s imagination. Don’t waste it, especially when you’re introducing characters and the particulars of their appearance. T

      Surprisingly political, loved it!
    • 3/5
      Loved the pacing of this book! Skulduggery books are always fast paced and the rapport between the characters always gives me life. If you like Pratchett humour, you'll like the humour here. My only (very mild) complaint is going to be the way Landy writes the combat scenes. There are lots of these and I just kinda skim over them.. I don't really need to commit every elbowed chin or smashed rib to my memory. I've read all the books from the main series, and one of the extra ones, so I feel like I don't really need to focus on them because I've read them already!That said, I loved the way Landy keeps suspense going by switching between characters POVs, including the antagonists. I also appreciate that the antagonists are not unchanging and monolithic - they have have shifting alleigances and priorities, just like the so called good guys... who are not always quite so good.
