“Readers looking for a mix of magic and action will find it here.” Skullduggery’s subtle humorous asides lighten the mood, and magical details, such as Valkyrie’s ability to throw fireballs, add to the fun.” His style is cinematic, and the action nonstop. “Landy, who has also written horror screenplays, is in his element here. He keeps up with chases, fights, rescues, and high-speed dialogue and without a pause gives credibility to the characters and their relationships.” Degas doesn’t flag in his narration of the nonstop action. Degas’ flippant, quick delivery of witty lines brings to life Skulduggery’s friendly, hip manner, which is counterpointed with a flatness that only barely covers his core of coldness and a hint of protective fondness for Valkyrie. “Rupert Degas uniquely characterizes each villain, creating chills with gravelly and whispery voices.
“Author Landy writes a compelling fantasy/futuristic mystery that is certain to keep young readers’ attention and imagination.This is a great read.”
