Critics Review

  • Praise for Derek Landy:

    ‘Landy [has the] ability to craft an engaging story from start to finish.’ Inis

    ‘Derek Landy has been something of a publishing phenomenon.’ Irish Post

    Praise for Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless One:

    ‘A fast evolving plot and a great mix of scariness and humour’ Sunday Express

    ‘Fast and funny.’ The Times

    ‘A magical mystery that grabs you from the first word and doesn’t let go, not even when you’re finished, and leaves you gasping for more like a fish out of water. Terrifyingly good!’ First News

    Praise for Skulduggery:

    ‘Hugely enjoyable – a thrill-a-minute adventure.’ Jonathan Stroud, author of the BARTIMAEUS TRILOGY

    ‘It’s exciting, pacy, nicely handled and fun. I sincerely hope Landy revisits these characters.’ Philip Ardagh, Guardian

    ‘Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humour, magic and adventure. Once you’ve met Stephanie and Skullduggery, you’ll be clamouring for a sequel.’ Rick Riordan, author of the PERCY JACKSON series

    ‘Landy’s witty style will win him fans of all ages … It’s a good job Harry’s [Potter] resigning before he’s forcibly retired.’ Irish Mail on Sunday

    ‘A rip-roaring adventure.’ Irish Sunday Independent
