Page Count: 607 pages
Series: Skulduggery Pleasant (Book Seven)
GOODREADS SUMMARY:
The seventh
installment in the biggest, funniest, most thrilling comedy-horror-adventure
series in the universe - and the follow-up to 2011’s number-one bestseller,
Death Bringer…
Magic is a disease.
Across the land, normal people are suddenly developing wild and unstable powers. Infected by a rare strain of magic, they are unwittingly endangering their own lives and the lives of the people around them. Terrified and confused, their only hope lies with the Sanctuary. Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are needed now more than ever.
And then there's the small matter of Kitana. A normal teenage girl who, along with her normal teenage friends, becomes infected. Becomes powerful. Becomes corrupted. Wielding the magic of gods, they're set to tear the city apart unless someone stands up against them.
Looks like it's going to be another one of those days…

This book was so much fun to read. It'll make you laugh out
loud and the twists are unpredictable. Loved it! Reading this made
me quite excited to get the next installment, Last Stand of Dead Men, in about
two weeks!
The plot was very fast-paced and full of action and twists - it
feels like the 607 pages are only 50. There was a sci-fi twist on this
story, and I really liked it.
Argeddion has been the most interesting villain yet - probably
because he was a pacifist. Very strange to see a villain who really wants
the best for the world.
Skulduggery and Valkyrie are still their witty selves and the
finale was fantastic. The last fifty pages or so were epic.
So if you've read the previous Skulduggery novels, definitely
don't miss this one. If you've never read a book in this series, they're
great and I highly recommend them to fantasy readers.
