Angrboda reviewed Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
Review of 'Skulduggery Pleasant' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
OH GOSH! Well, that was a bit of a revelation. In hindsight I'm sort of wondering how I didn't even suspect it. In hindsight, it was kind of obvious. Furthermore, I now have a strong and very disturbing indeed suspicion connected to it. We shall see if Landy really is that evil.
These later books are definitely a lot more complicated than the earlier ones. There's not so much good guy/bad guy black and white here, but rather about six thousand nuances of grey. Sometimes I'm not even sure the good guys really are the good guys. I'm not even sure there are ANY good guys. I very much expect Landy is doing it on purpose. At any rate, many characters, many different allegiances. I'm beginning to wonder if I should be taking notes.
