Summary

Following the shocking revelations of DARK DAYS, get ready for the fifth instalment of the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series – guaranteed to contain at least 40% humour, 50% action, and 100% thrills…

"The blonde girl with the black lips turned to Valkyrie. 'We know,' she said. 'We've seen the future. We know you're going to kill the world…'"

Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are back – just in time to see their whole world get turned upside down…

While they struggle to protect a known killer from an unstoppable assassin, Valkyrie is on a secret mission of her own. This quest, to prevent her dark and murderous destiny, threatens to take her to the brink of death and beyond. And then the body-snatching Remnants get loose, thousands of twisted souls who possess the living like puppets, and they begin their search for a being powerful enough to lead them. Facing such insurmountable odds, Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other…

Still loving it

I was so sad to see Rupert Degas wasn’t narrating this one. I felt sure I wouldn’t relate to the characters either new narrator, but actually I did and the story was so good I didn’t really notice for long. So was pleased about that!

Unhappy with the change of narrator.

Got used to him eventually but felt annoyed that the narrator had changed! I really liked Rupert!

Excellent book spoiled by the new narrator

This book, like the others in the series was just sooo good. However, it was spoiled by the new narrator, he just can't compare with the previous one and the characters were much more one-dimesional as a result. If this was the first book I'd heard I would think again about getting the next one. The plot and everything was still just excellent and the best in the genre by far in my opinion, but once you've heard characters come to life in Rupert Degas's melodic tones, no one can even come near to him and the new narrator didn't even nearly meet the mark....such a shame and it really spolied it for me....

Mortal Coil: Skulduggery Pleasant, Book 5

We see our two hero’s Skulduggery and Valkyrie Cain in trouble once again as they desperately try to save the world yet again. Its full of all the action, mystery we have come to expect from a Skulduggery advancer with is many twist and terns along the way as well as Derek Landy usual witty and intelligent dialog that could rival that of such writers as Terry Pratchett or Joss Whedon for is humour and intelligentsia,

If you like your books full of witty dialog, mystery and advancer this is the book for you
