Book Review of The Faceless Ones (Skulduggery Pleasant)

The Faceless Ones (Skulduggery Pleasant)
barbsis avatar reviewed on + 1076 more book reviews


Fourteen year old Valkyrie Cain works with skeleton detective Skulduggery Pleasant to stop the Diablerie from releasing the Faceless Ones from captivity. They have many allies and even more enemies: some known and some not. The danger to Valkyrie escalates with every book and she gets hurt worse and worse.

This series just gets better and better. I love the names of the bad guys: Murder Rose, Gruesome Krav, Remus Crux. And the good guys too: Ghastly Bespoke, China Sorrows, Tanith Low. The names tell you almost everything you need to know about the characters. After every book I can't imagine where the series will go next and each time I'm just amazed at the wizardry of this author. Simply amazing.
