Student Book Review - Skulduggery Pleasant, Death Bringer


BOOK REVIEW:
Skulduggery Pleasant Death Bringer
By Derek Landy 


Do you like a story with magic, violence, fights, living skeletons and a vampire who is madly in love with a girl but the girl does not know how to love as in boyfriend and girlfriend even though  she already has a boyfriend which means she's cheating on him. Well then this book is for you. This is the 6th book in its series. I love these genres therefore love the book.

This series is about a girl and skeleton who are sorcerers/detectives who live in a world where magic exists but most don't notice it. Valkyrie Cane and Skulduggery Pleasant. They work under the Elders command. In this book all of the Necromancers think Valkyrie is the death bringer so when they find out its Melancholia is the death bringer it brought them all to shock. The death bringer is supposed to open a passage  but only the higher ranks of the Necromancers know what it is. This doesn't bother the elder until Melancholia attacks .Valkyrie Skulduggery gets angry and so he waits for Valkyrie to get better and then issues an arrest warrant for Melancholia but when the Necromancers refuse to hand her over the elders wage war on the Necromancers and while all this is happening Lord Vile is on the lose and the elders are still searching for Darquesse Valkyrie dark self. The detectives have only 7 days to stop the Necromancers, will Lord Vile be found? Is anyone one watching from the sidelines and wants to expose magic to the world? What will happen to the detectives?
Read to find out

My favourite part of the book is when Lord Vile and Darquesse fight and unfortunately there is not a movie for any of the books although there should be one.

In the series on the book there is…
Skulduggery Pleasant 
Sceptre of the Ancients
Playing with Fire
The Faceless Ones
Dark Days
Mortal Coil
Death Bringer
Kingdom of the Wicked
Last Stand of a Dead Man

I have read all the books up to Death Bringer. None of the characters remind me of myself but I did take a liking to Skulduggery because he's smart, funny, and he thinks he's perfect and always shows off, plus he cares a lot for his friends so if you hurt one of them you are practically dead. I would rate this book 10 out of 5 stars because once you start you can't stop I read this book for 4 hours straight! I absolutely adore this book and the rest in its series. They all have humour, magic, mystery, and just a teeny tiny bit of romance…just the way I love it.
