"Stephanie and Skulduggery have such a fun dynamic. I hope that the future books in the series lean more into the mystery genre, but this establishes a cool hidden magical society in Ireland. That should only improve from here. #skulduggery_pleasant #derek_landy #urban_fantasy #buddy_cop #mystery #coming_of_age "

"It's similar to Harry Potter and even, arguably, a bit better. It's a very underrated series in North America. More people really need to check our this series. I'd say it's good for ages 10 and up."

"OMG I just finished this book and I absolutely loved it. The main character’s sarcasm made me laugh countless times and I finished it in under a week. Highly recommend. "
