Very witty, funny and nice fast paced action. There’s a reason the Necromancers don’t need her any more. The Necromancers no longer need Valkyrie to be their Death Bringer, and that’s a Good Thing. Overall though, this book was really enjoyable. Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior.

Another GR, friend read this book though and thought the same thing, so I believe it has more to do with the writing than the audio. Also, I’m not sure if this is due to the audiobook or writing, but I found the action scenes hard to follow. It was annoying, because I was never sure if he was the one talking until I listened to more of the audio and then I would have to re-listen to those parts. : Skulduggery Pleasant: Death Bringer (9780007326044) by Landy, Derek and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available. My only real compliant about the narration is that it seemed like Skulduggery’s “voice” would change. I loved the musical accompaniment, especially for Skulduggery’s scenes. The audiobook for this story was excellent. The Necromancers no longer need Valkyrie to be their Death Bringer, and thats a Good Thing. From this first book it seems like these characters have stories of their own and I’m very interested in finding out more about them. For some reason she reminds me of Tonks from Harry Potter. I must say she sounds older than 12, but I didn’t mind because I really liked the chemistry and dialogue between these two. Stephanie is a 12 year old girl, who basically inherited her uncle’s problems upon his death. What’s even more awesome is that his partner, Stephanie, is just as cool and witty. He’s a witty, snarky, badass crime-solving bastard.

Skulduggery is as cool and awesome as his name implies. The story is of Skulduggery Pleasant who is a walking, talking magic wielding skeleton. The cover of the book looked hokey and the description didn’t do much for me, but I was pleasantly surprised when I started listening that it was actually a fun, intelligent read. I really love this program because I end up listening to stuff that I otherwise wouldn’t have picked up on my own. This book is another free gem I got off the YA Sync Summer Audio Program.
