Summary

The sixth instalment in the historic, hysterical and horrific Skulduggery Pleasant series. Think you’ve seen anything yet? You haven’t. Because the Death Bringer is about to rise…

The Necromancers no longer need Valkyrie to be their Death Bringer, and that’s a Good Thing. There’s just one catch. There’s a reason the Necromancers don’t need her any more. And that’s because they’ve found their Death Bringer already, the person who will dissolve the doors between life and death. And that’s a very, very Bad Thing….

Dramatic and witty, as always

Wonderful plot, performed animatedly with an array of voices. Skulduggery fans will not be disappointed.

wow

Did not see that coming. That twist about Skulduggery's past I through was brilliant. Makes you understand why he does what he does.

Brilliant new Narrator!

After listening to the previous books, it took me by surprise when I found out this book has a new Narrator. However, it is a good change in pace and refreshing to hear someone else's delivery of the story. As always, each character is given a unique voice and personality and Skulduggery's voice is as smooth as described in the first book. An accurate representation. Enjoyable from start to finish

Not Quite the Right Narrator

If you need a non-fiction book read, Stephen Hogan is your guy. Great voice, nice timbre.

But for a book containing multiple different character voices, this is woeful miscasting, because Hogan just can't hold a candle to his predecessors.

His female characters are no good. His accents are no good. His voice differentiation...not good. These are tricky things, but a professional voice artist given a multi-book gig needs to be able to overcome these kinds of challenges.

What's even more baffling are the straight up inconsistencies from previous books. Frightening Jones has gone from an African man to a bad Patrick Stewart impersonator. Jaron Gallow has changed from a soft spoken Frenchman to a crass Yorkshire miner. Thrasher YELLS EVERYTHING FOR NO REASON.

A little bit of research might not have gone awry when you're taking over at book six.

Hogan has the reins for the rest of the series, so I might as well get used to it. But it really is a shame that after cycling through three voice actors in just six books, THIS is the one that stuck around.

I only hope he took on some feedback.
