Valkyrie screamed, sprinting toward Skulduggery.
He looked up and reached out to her, but it was too late.
f you've read the other Skulduggery books by Derek Landy (and you really should have read them by now), you've seen it all before: Some bad guy wants to bring about the end of the world, and Skulduggery and Valkyrie fight valiantly to stop it from happening. A few people get hurt, sure, but everything's all right in the end.
Well, not this time.

Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Rich fantasy that is as engaging in its creative protagonists and villians as it is in the lightning-paced plot and sharp humor.”
—
Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“The plot contains many twists and double crosses as dubious characters factor into the mystery... Kids who have outgrown Lemony Snicket will enjoy the series.”
