Publisher's summary

Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior.

Oh yes. And dead.

Skulduggery Pleasant is gone, sucked into a parallel dimension overrun by the Faceless Ones. If his bones haven’t already been turned to dust, chances are he’s insane, driven out of his mind by the horror of the ancient gods. There is no official, Sanctuary-approved rescue mission. There is no official plan to save him.

But Valkyrie's never had much time for plans.

The problem is, even if she can get Skulduggery back, there might not be much left for him to return to. There’s a gang of villains bent on destroying the Sanctuary, there are some very powerful people who want Valkyrie dead, and as if all that wasn’t enough it looks very likely that a sorcerer named Darquesse is going to kill the world and everyone on it.

Skulduggery is gone. All our hopes rest with Valkyrie. The world’s weight is on her shoulders, and its fate is in her hands.

These are dark days indeed.

Good book

Loved the book. Really enjoy the narrator. Ending was a surprise. On to book 5.

Best one so far

Amazing voice acting and a stellar story, mixed with a minor zombie apocalypse, makes for a great couple of hours.

very good book

Hi book is amazing! The it ends with a plot twist and begins perfectly after the book before.

excellent.

good story developing characters most enjoyable listen.
love the accents everything's well voiced.
I have no real interest in doing a large review there should be enough words to make up the 15 words requirement

AMAZING

I love skullduggery pleasant. every single book is full of fun, thrill, and adventure. always a great story line. the narrator does it justice every character has a unique voice. brings life to the characters. if you are into. a hilarious, magic, fighting, and a gripping story with the right balance than i HIGHLY RECOMMEND this series

even better than the first three

i adore this series. it just gets better and better, and the story gets darker and darker.

Great book there is a mix up

In chapter six 4min there is a conversation that is mixed up between spring hilled jack and scapegrace the voices are flipped i don’t know if it can be fixed great book and awesome story great addition to the series

Great performance and story

I really like the narrator in this book, but in the next book, there is a different narrator and I find him not as good. This is one of my favorite books, and I love when Valkyrie goes to the alternate world and it’s cool that Skulduggery is much more powerful and I think that the revengers club is really cool, I also like all the surprises are really cool.

Worth the Wait!!!

A few mishaps here and there but overall, Rupert Degas still has the best Skulduggery Pleasant voice. Well done!!!

voice actor screws up

narrator in the 8th chapter switched between two charecters doing different voiced for both. halfway through the conversation he switches the voices for the charecters. ie. scapgrace has the voice of springheeled jack and vice versa. If you have listened/read the previous books its easy to tell
