About this listen

Following the shocking revelations of DARK DAYS, get ready for the fifth instalment of the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series – guaranteed to contain at least 40% humour, 50% action, and 100% thrills…

"The blonde girl with the black lips turned to Valkyrie. 'We know,' she said. 'We've seen the future. We know you're going to kill the world…'"

Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are back – just in time to see their whole world get turned upside down…

While they struggle to protect a known killer from an unstoppable assassin, Valkyrie is on a secret mission of her own. This quest, to prevent her dark and murderous destiny, threatens to take her to the brink of death and beyond. And then the body-snatching Remnants get loose, thousands of twisted souls who possess the living like puppets, and they begin their search for a being powerful enough to lead them. Facing such insurmountable odds, Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other…

What did you like about this audiobook?

The plot develops with interesting twists. Plenty of suspense, and imaginative new magical ideas. Having heard the first four, I was keen to meet up with the the friends I had come to like, and I wasn't disappointed. I had a hard time taking breaks in my listening! Anxious about the change of narrator, I found Brian Bowles surprisingly easy to enjoy!

mortal coils story was good and still had the same humour and everything youd love from the others. This one has a new narrator which took a bit of time getting used to the new voices

Amazing I love this series so much! Bit disappointing it’s a different narrator as I did like the first one and it was harder to adjust however still an excellent performance and I really enjoyed it.

Great

Marvellous fifth installment of the series. Different narrator to previous books, still a good performance.

Exciting Story

While the book is good, the change of narrator took a lot away from the audiobook. To be fair, the new narrator is doing a good job, but it so far away from the stellar performance of Rupert Degas !

Terrible change of narrator
