Skulduggery Pleasant: The Dying of the Light Award-winning author by Derek Landy (author) (UK edition)

A longer bucket list than a John Green movie. Shocking. Ominous. Wickedly brilliant. Darquesse is about to turn the world to a charred, lifeless cinder. What will survive? Not much. At last: it’s the final episode of the Skulduggery saga. And it’s all looking rather terminal. Valkyrie. Darquesse. Stephanie. The world ain’t big enough for the three of them. The end is definitely nigh. Valkyrie is lost. As a last resort, Skulduggery gathers a dark army to face Darquesse. Soldiers, monster hunters, killers, criminals… and Valkyrie’s own deadly reflection. The final battle is kicking off, and not everyone gets out of here alive. (Just in case you didn’t guess.)

Derek Landy

Derek Landy is the author of the bestselling, awardwinning Skulduggery books – the funniest dead detective ever!

Before writing his children’s story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, Derek wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous thriller in which everybody dies.

As a black belt in Kenpo Karate he has taught countless children how to defend themselves, in the hopes of building his own private munchkin army. He firmly believes that they await his call to strike against his enemies (he doesn’t actually have any enemies, but he’s assuming they’ll show up, sooner or later).

Derek lives on the outskirts of Dublin, and the reason he writes his own biography blurb is so that he can finally refer to himself in the third person without looking pompous or insane.

This book is a amazing read with a great build up and a even better finale where the fate of humankind hangs in the balance. It is the perfect end to the series and is the thrilling mixture of gripping action and humorous that makes Skulduggery Pleasant so enjoyable.
