READ BY RUPERT DEGAS. It’s the fourth Skulduggery Pleasant adventure… only Skulduggery Pleasant himself is lost on the other side of a portal, with only some evil gods for company. Can he possible survive? (Yes, all right, he’s already dead. But still.)

What can we say, without giving too much away?

Not much, is the answer.

But what we CAN say is that this book is hilarious, it’s tense, and it’s packed with all the eye-popping action, crackling one liners and imaginative set pieces you’ve come to expect. There’s a new threat to our plucky heroine, of course. But that’s not all. There’s also the little fact of the Big Bad, the uber-baddy who’s going to come along and really, really destroy the world. (Really.) And what we learn about that villain in this book will literally make your jaw fall off and your hair go white with shock. (Not really.)

Will Skulduggery make it out of the Faceless Ones’ dimension? Who knows. The problem is, he may not have much to come back to…

Another great performance given for a fantastic story. Brian Bowles really nails the different Irish dialects. On occasion he accidentally assigned the wrong voice to the wrong character but apart from that it was great

Really brilliant but some issues with the voices

There were a few moments where the wrong voice would be used or there would be a long pause for no reason which took away from the experience of the book but I have always enjoyed skulduggery pleasant as a whole and the performance was not bad enough for me to choose to not listen to it.

Good Story but reading wasn’t great
