About this listen

Skulduggery, Valkyrie and Omen return in the 14th and penultimate novel in the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series – and their most epic test yet…

In a matter of days, the world will change.

Billions of lives will be wiped away in a final, desperate search for the Child of the Faceless Ones — she who is destined to bring about the return of humankind's ancient overlords.

To prevent this, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain have one last – terrible – option: the assassination of Damocles Creed. With protests stirring in the magical city of Roarhaven, with riots and revolutions on the horizon, Valkyrie must decide who she wants to be: the hero who risks everything for a noble ideal, or the killer who sacrifices her own soul for the fate of humanity.

The decision must be made, and time is running out.

I am absolutely loving this audiobook. Derek Landy has really brought back the comedy in this instalment. The funny banter between characters starts and when you think the jokes are done, they’re not! There’s more funny dialogue to come and this narrator is so good at delivering comedic timing. All the magic and fighting is so adventurous too. So clever the way the plot flows out of characters being diabolical.

Jokes Banter Magic Adventure

Great series but it’s harder and harder to get through a book of these after the first 6 books, there not has funny, the best characters killed off, not has much action, but every artist ends up like this, every great series just gets boring, read the first 6 books, the rest are a bit average

Good not great like the first 6 books

Seemed to be quite a lot of storylines in this book, which kept it engaging

Another good addition

Great story. Lots if twists and turns but after Dying of the Light, the narrator cannot get the doctor's name or the school's name correct. It's like grit in soup. A stone in a sandwich. Plain lazy and irritating. Listen to the previous stories - or get somebody from the publisher to do it.

Great book. Know how to say the characters' names

As usual Derek Landy wrote a great story and Kevin Healy perfected the audio book. A page turner so to speak, gripping story and the individual voices were great too. Amazing audiobook all round!

Great book!

GREAT book just AMAZING the first couple of book were very repetitive like valkyrie gets into trouble and Skulduggery saves her again and again but it is so much better now that Valkyrie is more interesting I LOVED it the last couple of book are just something else definitely the best!

AMAZING

Another great book by Derek.
Although I miss the original crew and find teenage wannabe superheroes slightly off-putting, the character development is a gift from DL!
Overall a great story line, I will be sad when this is over.

Parallel story lines, abundance of characters!
