    Derek Landy

    Derek Landy lives near Dublin. Before writing his children's story about a sharply-dressed skeleton detective, he wrote the screenplays for a zombie movie and a murderous horror film. "I think my career-guidance teacher is spinning in her grave," he says, "or she would be if she were dead."

      there were moments I laughed so hard, and moments I froze and kept my breath in, the excitement and the action is described so well! not boring at all for a single moment!
    • 4/5
      I really enjoy this series. It has a bit of everything I like: fantasy, sci-if, comedy, and a little darkness. It’s pretty much perfect for all ages. The characters are brilliantly depicted. I love the growth that Valkyrie goes through as she learns more about her powers, and the bond between her and Skulduggery.
