Doors are for people with no imagination.
BASICs
So, that's the third part of Skulduggery Pleasant
Again Valkyrie Cain and Skulduggery have to unit their powers to save the world from destruction.
You'll read about the old gods of the world.
Characters
Skulduggery Pleasant - a skeleton and detective
Valkyrie Cain - original Name Stephanie Edgley, 14 Years old
China - beautiful woman, who must not be trusted, Collectot, has a libary
Flechter Renn - the last Teleporter, he's a natural
Guild - the new Grand Mage, Skulduggery thinks he is a treater
Kenspeckel Grouse - a magic Doctor, helps Valkyrie and Co. when they're injured
Story
Again someone want to bring the Faceless back.
This time it's the Diablerie, a group of 5 people.
They want to use the Torso of the Groteskery to bring back the Faceless and they need a teleporter. They kill all of them except Fletcher Renn.
Then they want him.
Will Valkyrie and Skulduggery be able to stop them?
Pro and Cons
I must admit that you have to read the earlier books to understand the story line because there aren't much explanations for example for the Faceless Ones, for China or about the Groteskery.
But it was another funny book written by Derek Landy.
There are more emotions, I guess, but it depends on the reader, how you like it.

Funny and awesome quotes
Finbar looked at Valkyrie. "Want a tattoo?"
"Yes." Valkyrie said.
"No." Skulduggery said. We're leaving now."
Valkyrie scowled as she followed him out into the rain. "I could hav just got a small one."
"Your parents would kill me."
"Being around you puts my life in constant danger. I've fought monsters and vampires and I've almost died twice, and you think they'd choose to kill you over a tattoo?"
"Parents are funny that way."
Black lightning streaked from the crystal, and the table turned to dust and the oak box fell heavily on the floor.
Valkyrie stared. "I missed the box." "Yes, but on the bright side, you killed the table."
China glared at her, than glared at Skulduggery. "Some of those books were one of their kind."
"I understand that." "Priceless, Skulduggery. Beyound Priceless. The secrets they held, the histories they contained ..."
"I'll be happy to pay for any damage caused."
"You cannot pay for priceless book! That's why they call them priceless!"
"Then let me at least for the bookcase."
