Until the End: Book 15 (Skulduggery Pleasant)

Product Information

The whole plot of Creed being the bad guy was completely made redundant when Valkyrie took the lead. For a little bit, when he had the Nexus helmet, he was once again a relevant character, which was then completely undone by the fact that both Valkyrie and Obsidian killed the Faceless Ones in an anticlimatic ending, as the Faceless Ones just merged into this little spark. And I was waiting for the spark to do something, only for them to be trapped by Darquesse, and not doing anything. So that was definitely anti-climatic. Landy is an established horror writer, and the combats between Skulduggery, Serpine and his legions of Hollow Men and vampires rival the climaxes of the Potter films for hair-raising effects; it isn't often that writing makes you feel as if you are watching a film. [46] A big issue that’s been appearing more and more as the series goes on is the dialogue. Phase one was full of snark and banter, yes, but it wasn’t a constant barrage and it didn’t come from all sides. Skul and Val would have their banter with each other, and some other characters would sometimes have their moments, but it wasn’t all of the dialogue all of the time. Each character had their own distinct voices and personalities and they all felt like different people. In this book pretty much everyone came across as being exactly the same. This is probably why Never was bearable in this book actually, because they didn’t sound like themself anymore, but sounded just like everyone else. I’d have preferred it if I’d still disliked them, because then at least they’d have been a distinct character of their own instead of just being part of the crowd in Omen’s chapters. As it was they may as well have not been there at all.

The obsidian plotline seemed very annoying at first, because the biggest concern was obviously the Faceless Ones, and the monsters they unleashed on the Earth. The way Obsidian completely ended the universe, wasn't really surprising, as Darquesse had done it before in phase 1, and it was just like what I had expected; an ending where all characters were killed off, in some worldwide apocalypse. The novels are broken up into two phases with multiple prequels and short tales. Since the release of the first novel in 2007, Skulduggery Pleasant, the series has been praised by both readers and critics. Eventually, she moves. Sebastian asks her if she will save the world.

Sebastian tries to communicate with her, but she doesn't respond. Sat and thought about this one for two weeks instead of doing my usual immediate heavy sarcasm fest. Let’s say a 2.5. I absolutely *could* round up to three, but ... I won’t!
