Praise for Skulduggery Pleasant: The Dying of the Light:

With plot twists that had me gasping at Landy's audacity, whip-smart dialogue, and enough clever popular culture references to impress even the most jaded teenager, this is a world class book not to be missed. Irish Independent

This is a series that has not only maintained incredible entertainment value throughout, but has managed to consistently exceed steadily rising expectations book after book I'm going to miss this wonderfully exciting magical world with its wonderfully varied and interesting characters. The Bookbag
