In this book, there is a Teleporter-murder series that Valkyrie and Skulduggery have to solve. This new case, however, quickly leads them to discover a new ritual to bring back the Faceless Ones, as had been attempted before. Now, it is up to them - again - to save the world. This time, I couldn't really enjoy the humor like in the first books. The themes are much darker and Skulduggery's dark past is implied more and more. The lighthearted jokes just didn't fit for me. What I really enjoyed, on the other hand, was how the grown ups treat Valkyrie in this book. They keep trying to convince her to go back to her old life and not get tangled in the magic society. And even though Valkyrie doesn't want to hear it, I think it was very interesting to see an adult perspective in a book for younger teens. The ending was very surprising and opens up sooo many possibilities for Valkyries future. I'm so excited! I love the progression of the series and am curious to read more!
