Old one has dissapeared
 Hi. I like SP. Seen as it's world book day (very) soon, I'm going as Valkyrie Cain. (School and that...) There is a whole series of them now, going up to book 6 What's your favorite book? Who do you like most? What's your favorite line? I personally find them rather funny and exciting... My favorite book is the 6th one, so many things revealed I like Either Valkyrie or Skulduggery the most... (can't decide which  )My favorite line (well, more of paragraph ) is: "Remember that weekend we couldn't find you? We though Mevolent had snatched you away and was torturing you to within an inch of your life. Valkyrie, would you like to know what he was really doing that weekend?" "Yes I would," said Valkyrie. "No she wouldn't," Said Ghastly. "I think she would," Skulduggery siad. "If you tell her," Siad Ghastly, "I will have both of you arrested. And possibly flogged." Vex sighed. "Sorry Val. What happens in wartime, apparantly stayes in wartime." (actually, that's probably not my favorite piece, but it's the only one that doesn't really give away a big shink of the plot. and we couldn't want that now would we?)Well, what do you like about them?

I couldn't settle on a favorite line or book (IMO, the books are continuously improving, so it would just change and change anyway), but ZOMG Skulduggery Pleasant is amazing! I mean, seriously: I rarely buy books, but I nevertheless imported the most recent trilogy from Britain because I love them so much.

I've only gotten to read the first three SP books (checked them out from the library), but I loved them so much I'm considering actually paying shipping to get books 4, 5, and 6 imported via Amazon. (And I like never pay shipping on Amazon; I always use the free Super Saver shipping.)
I love Skulduggery's craziness... There are few books I've read that make me laugh as much I did when I was first reading these. (The only real competitor I can think of is Brandon Sanderson's Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians series--they have a similar mood of randomness that cracks me up.) Does anyone know if and when there will be a seventh book? Like, was the ending of the sixth conclusive enough that Derek Landy could stop there, or are there loose ends that need to be tied up? |

Well, in the end of the 6th book it does say: Watch out for Derek's world book day book Skulduggery pleasant: The end of the world I think it's coming out tomorrow The end of deathbringer was rather conclusive, but he's obviously selling another |

ugh
 I NEVER see enough SP love around here. I LOVE that series! It's super hard to get ahold of the books around here, and I've read up to Mortal Coil...it only gets better and better!I can't really answer any of the questions except for favorite character, which should be obvious-- Skulduggery! But I love each and every one of them, too. |

I recommend Eruditor instead. They don't have proper customer service, and some reviews of the website mention having difficulties with that, but the upside is that the books are much less expensive.
ZOMG, you like Alcatraz too?! Nobody reads those books, it seems!
Derek Landy has said that it's going to be a 9-book series. So, that's good. |

No, there are still three books coming. The End of the World is a special novella for world book day; the series' proper books release in September (with the exception of... I think it was Dark Days, that released early). |

My favourite book might be "Playing With Fire", but I love them all. ^^
My favourite character changes a lot. First it was Tanith, then Serpine. Dusk also once held that position. Currently, though; it's Wreath. Anyone else excited for "Kingdom of the Wicked"? xP |

I have. My friend loaned it to me. ^^
It was quite good, methinks. The additional short story wasn't too great, though. Dx |
