Also... ich weiß gar nicht so genau, wie ich das Buch finde...
Es hat mich gut unterhalten, obwohl mir die eine oder andere Kampfszene zuviel darin war. Und das (offene) Ende hat mich eiskalt erwischt... Mir bleiben da einfach zu viele lose Enden, irgendwie sind alle Handlungsstränge in der Schwebe, alle Protagonisten in Schwierigkeiten stecken geblieben.
Vielleicht hat sich die Reihe für mich auch überlebt?! Ich muss das jetzt mal sacken lassen... ( )

-I had stopped reading the Skulduggery Pleasant books for a while last year after the eighth, as they were too dark with too much gratuitous violence and not enough plot and interesting things
- I decided to try this one, and it was quite a bit better
-it seemed there was more plot and more interesting stuff happened and there was less violence for the sake of it, which got boring, it was also less depressing
-I liked Valkyrie trying to receive her sisters soul the best I think it was more varied
-Omen was also interesting, so was the school
- the characters all seem more realistic in this, although not completely so they seem a lot more like actual people,
-they don't completely, but that it the style, it is meant to be like that
-the effect of everything on Valkyrie was shown well
-a lot of things for example representation and diversity in these books often seem done half good and half bad
-there are also often other dubious things
-I enjoyed this book enough that I am intereresred in reading more of the others ( )

There was lgbtq representation, done decently
-representation and diversity in these books often seem half good and half bad
-there are also often other dubious things
-this probably wasn't intentional but there was a character who was mentioned in about one line and was not important at all who was probably aroace, and another time a character expressed views that were basically typical aphobia you see complained about on the internet, although she was a villain she was a sympathetic one, I don't know I found it interesting

In the 12th book of Skulduggery Pleasant Valkyrie goes on a quest to help her sister when suddenly Abyssinia reserfaces to carry out her grand plan. She ends up failing when Skulduggery and Valkyrie come to save the day, initially....

I love Derek Landy's perspective on the book and I love his style in the sensethat there is always a twist at every corner and how he puts his characters in a way that makes the scene go from really serious to very funny. That always puts a fun take on things.

I would recommend this book to 12-15 year olds and I think Derek Landy could add some extra detail to make sure that the scene is clear to read ( )
