Playing with Fire

Doors are for people with no imagination. 

BASICs

I wrote about Skulduggery Pleasant before, "Playing with Fire" is the second book in this serie.
Well, it's again about fighting, magic and the rescue of the world.
Something else?
You'll discover a new force of magic, I guess.

Characters


Skulduggery Pleasant - a skeleton and detective, works for the sanctuary
Valkyrie Cain - 13 year old girl, original name Stephanie Edgley
Mr. Bliss - strongest Man in the world
Baron Vengeous - one of the 3 generals Mevolents --> who is a really bad guy, dead
Lord Vile - already dead, but his armor with his power still exists


Story

This Time they are confronted with another General of Mevolent, Baron Vengous has eskaped from his prison and wants to bring the Faceless back.
He needs Lord Viles Armor and another unknown thing, to awake the Groteskery and to bring his gods back.
And Valkyrie have to stop him together with Skulduggery.

Pro and Cons

It's really similiar to the first book, Skulduggery Pleasant, but this time there is more action and fewer theoretical parts. There is more fighting and more threathning and dangerous scenes.

Funny and awesome quotes

"Guild doesn't like me.", Valkyrie said.
"That's true.", Skulduggery responded.
"He doesn't likes you either."
"That is mystifying."

"Was it a test?", she asked. "I mean, I know I'm still new at this, I'm still the rookie. Did you hang back to test me, to see if I'd be able to handle it alone?"
"Well, kind of, " he said. "Actually, no, nothing like that. My shoelace was untied. That's why I was late. That's why you were alone.
"I could have been killled because you were tying your shoelace?"
"An untied shoelace can be dangerous,"he said. "I could hace tripped."
She stared at him. A moment dragged by.
"I'm joking." he said at last.
She relaxed. "Really?"
"Absolutely. I would never have tripped. I'm far too graceful."
