You lucky, lucky people...
I am, of course, referring to those Minions who talk with those funny accents. A full 36 days before the rest of us, Kingdom of the Wicked is now available in Australia and New Zealand.
The normal rules apply. No Spoilers. None. None whatsoever. There's not even going to be spoiler zone Blog post for you to discuss it in secret- not until it's available in Ireland and the UK. You're just going to have to keep it to yourself and off the internet for 36 days. That is your punishment for getting it early...
And you have it SO early that not even I have a copy. How is THAT fair?
In other news...
A new school-type event is now listed in the Sydney section of the tour schedule below. If you want to get involved... er... I dunno what you have to do... Get your school to register, or something?

Woah!
Please, Derek, find out more about the Skulduggery Pleasant Movie!
Second! :D
I LOVE IT OH MY GOD I NEED A TIME MACHINE NOW :O
:D
Bout to start my re-read :D
any idea when your awesom book will be available in a stall country like Singapore?
The genius that is Tom Percival has given us another amazing cover illustration :D
You thought I was going to say Derek Landy, didn't you?
;)
Hi MASTER!!!!
How are you? You never say how your day was or what you have been up to or anything else like that. These days you just speak about your books.
Which I will not deny, is super awesome. But it wouldn't hurt to be a bit self-centered every now and then....
By the way... I AM YOUR BIGGEST SOUTH AFRICAN FAN! Its true...
There are South Africans that love you and your books. You should really try to come and say hi to us as soon as you can. I know for a fact that there would be quite a few people, but not entirely a crowd. But it would be awesome, no matter what.
Maybe you could just come for a day....
36 more days...
I think I may die of old age first. :-|
I do like the back cover! But not the 36 more days.
*cries*
*will keep crying for the next 36 days, perhaps only making an exception for the Batman film and for the olympics*
nice! :)
can't wait till katw
Tenth!
36 days?! *le sob*
cool cover!!!!
chloeg is out, peace!
OH MY GOLDEN GOD.
DEREK I READ SPOILERS.
THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL
I DID ASK FOR THEM, LIKE.
BUT I DIED.
AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE OF A CERTAIN THING I HAVE HEARD.

KOTW SOUNDS LIKE PERFECTION.
I haven't even read KOTW yet and book 8 sounds like it shall be the most awesome book yet! If it goes how it sounds like it might I think Book 8 will be my favourite. ^_^
IS THIS THE REAL LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?
HEY, KALLIE! *huggles*
I AM SO HYPER I CANNOT EVEN.
I HAVE DECIDED I AM GOING TO START SAVING UP FOR KOTW. BECAUSE I AM BUYING TWO COPIES.
LUCIANA SCATH!!!
Have you read spoilers??!!!
Yes I read all the spoilers.
*giggles* I AM SO HAPPYYYy.
Still slightly p*ssed that I won't get to meet Derek AGAIN, this year. Because he's not going to Sheffield or Doncaster. ¬_¬ Why does Rotherham have to be awkward?
I am so disappointed in you Lu.
Tut tut tut
I needed to get my mind of things somehow. So...SPOILERS.
But it's OK. I can repress memories. So I can repress this from my memories whilst reading KOTW. Which I need to save up for.
Derek,
The NZers have the book. Most of them have read it by now. Yet we, your (in terms of numbers) main audience, the UK kids, are left out in the cold for over another month?
Dude, I'm really sad about this. At least let us get the ebook on the first... Please? Please please please please?
OMG THAT BACK COVER IS SO BLOODY COOL!!
Anywho i gotta go now. I am actually currently in a shopping centre using my friends phone :P
Hi/bye, NJ! *hugs*
Holly
Are you Irish, UK or American?
Wow! I'm not the hundrest or so...
*_* The Cover's so cool^^
Not even YOU have a copy, golden God? :O
The first chapter was brilliant of KOTW! The rest of it would it to, i know.*_*
Only 36left*_*
I hope it don't take long for the readers in German^^'
(Damn, why I don't live in Ireland/UK?)
Tan (Sry, because of my English ^^')
I LOVES IT!!!! :D Going to my monthly trip to Dublin on Thursday... Has to leave stupid Armagh before I EXPLOOOODEE!!!... I can't believe the stupid Amragh Council are turning my ALL TIME FAVORITE PLACE EVER- Ahem, the Haunted Jail that closed about 100 years ago because to many people where dying in it, yup, that's why I love it- INTO A FREAKING HOTEL. GAHHH.... They open it for about a week every year and I love going to it to look about, and it reminds me of something in a SP book, and now they're closing it and knocking it down and turn it into a stupid hotel. Gr. I should protest.... :P
Amragh= **Armagh -_-
No fair! I am soo jealous of the people who have the book. *sigh* LOVE the back cover though, man it is sooo awesome. Three cheers for Tom Percival!!!!!!!!!! And long live the Golden God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I so cant wait for kingdom of the wicked. But im sad that there will only be 2 more books left after. I never want this series to end. What elso are we fans going to read? Unless of course Derek is planning a spin of series? Hhmmm? (Demonica says hopefully)
HNNNNNNG
DAT COVER
IS AMAZING
*throws self out of window because Tom's art is just too bloody good*
... PURE EPICNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's all that can describe that back cover!!!! ^^^
I </3 it and I can't wait to get my own copy of KOTW now!!!!
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky Minions-with-funny-accents. *shakes head* ... Curse you all...!
Anyway, I can't stay - just one post! Bye, if anyone's here! *hugs*

Dear Derek Landy,
Out of curiosity what sort of smith & wesson does Skulduggery have?
cant wait to get it!!! doing any signings in leinster soon derek? would love to go! class cover really kwl!
Oh that cover is just beautiful <3 Great work from Tom as always, well done! :D
And wow only 36 days? I think I need a fan or something because I think I might just fangirl. What am I going to do for so long?!?
Ooh I know! I will speculate about who that is on the back cover (even though I already have a really good idea) I'm sure that will slowly turn me insane >:)
Mwahahahahah
- Nicolette
NO. NO. Why do they get it early. This is cruel! And of all countries, you pick the ones furthest away from me? They are not worthy D':
Darn you, just hearing that sent me into animal-like cackling, and I won't even be able to buy it when it first comes out...
But if I guess correctly as to what the spoiler perfection was...YA!!!!!
(And that means that if I am right, I will be a minions FOREVER!!!!!!!!)
DEUTSCHLAND IST DIE BESTE! Oder ist es 'der Beste?' Oder das?
Ach, ich weiß es nicht, ich bin Amerikanisch und meine Handis Deutsch ist besser als mein(en?).
Sorry about the late publication date and the bad German...
I'm with you, Demonica.
(Hear that, Derek? We fans protest to the end of the series.)
You know if I refused to read the blurb of book 9 would that mean that the series never ends? Because it is technically the last page..
You know Derek, that art is awesome (so thanks Mr Percival!), but telling us just a little about the book, taunting us with one chapter, and then telling us that there will be no spoilers is almost evil. And I can't wait until Mum's computer is fixed so I can order the books online.
After all, three books are not enough, even though that's all we Ameriminions get. (Though I understand that it isn't by your choice, so ok.)
You're being unfaithful to us Irish minions!
Awwwwwwwwww!!!
36 more days!!!!
Am so depressed. :(
And I just realized that who I am replying to doesn't show up on the web version. T_T
The first one is in response to Luciana Scáth, and the German is in response Taira Night's Blog of Infinity.
Sorry about that...
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!
DEREK YOU ARE SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!
Wait, I've 36 days of sheer boredom...what will I do?? Maybe I'll hibernate ^.^
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh it is SO BLOODY AWMAZING I THINK I'M GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I don't mind that it isn't out earlier in Ireland. I can wait, because I'm so patient. *Screams inside* Yup. I'm VERY patient... :3
Wait, CAN humans hibernate? 0.o
Just Googled it and some people who meditate can hibernate
Pfffffffffft, I have no patience.
Despite how much I hate Kindle books, it is a good way to get KOTW 36 days early...
I don't like Kindles either. I like the feel and the smell of a book in my hand!
My auntie bought a kindle and said she wished she didn't. She'd rather have books :P Same here, books are awesomeness. But one thing I don't get is:
How come some people will consider you a nerd if you read lots of books, but if you have a kindle your not? Jeez...
Oh, and my neighbor hibernates. He only comes out literally one week a year. He's odd... It makes me wonder what he get's up to, and then when I do, it makes me not want to know what he's up to... -_-
I only use my Kindle for internet XD
But getting a book a month early is always a good use for it
WHAT? IT DOESN'T SELL IT? WHAT'S THE POINT OF SAYING IT DOES ON THE AUSTRALIAN WEBSITE?!
*smacks head into wall*
And now I am very pissed off. *sulks*
I think the Australian website doesn't like you very much!
First page, W00T! Okay, this is kind of like pouring lemon juice into an open wound (because I'm an American and therefore shouldn't have even read beyond the third book) (but luckily we have things like Amazon) but this is very exciting (and the new back cover is totally awesome, congratulations on that, Tom Percival)!
Derek should Blogspeak. *nods and complains about there not being a signing in Sheffield or Doncaster*
It absolutely HATES me.
And it says you can get it on iTunes, but then it says it doesn't come out until the UK release date, and and and and... I'm angry
i come home from my American job,
to my American house,
i turn on my American computer and see this Irish amazingness.
i now tip my figurative, American hat to Tom.
he deserves a plate of brownies...or money
since i'm here i'll ask a question;
what colours are Tanith and Ghastly's eyes?
I'm angry too - Derek never comes to Mayo -.-
And I think Ghastly has brown eyes :]
Still can't get over how AWESOME that back cover is!!
I'm on the 1st page!!!!!
omgasdf that is awesome!!!! Can't wait- I*'m half New Zealandish but live in England......time to emigrate. And Flaring if your on here, update. The. Fanfiction. Or I'll....uhm...uh....*cries in the corner.
SO LONELY!
Monkeys, dance for me!
Monkeys?
Hellooooooooooooooooooooo?
*spontaneously combusts from boredom*
tralalalalaa......just poking Scapegrace....hum-tee-tum......Oh, hi Thrasher........dee-deee-doooooo.
I'M GOING INSANE!!! Hang on, going? nevermind.....
I wonder what it'd be like to be a monkey for a day? It'd probably just be like being a human, but slightly less intelligent (for some people) more hairy (again for some people >.<) and more dancing!
me want company. :'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''( I just cried me a river of loneliness
someone didn't ignore me! asdfh so happy :D I love you! Don't feel that you have to commit or anything though ^.^
I'm here, Luna - and monkeys don't dance when they hear music (I Googled it ^.^)
lies, filthy torturous lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Mwahahahahahhahahahahah! *twitch twitch*
Hellooooooooooooo, Luna, I've been here the whole time XD
I'll buy a monkey and find out if they dance. No - I'll MAKE it dance!
yay!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello. c:
*hugs Skullbug and Val* *strangles them*
I'll buy TWO MONKEYS! I'LL MAKE THEM DANCE TOGETHER!! Mwahahaha!
*and Luciana*
And I'll make a video of them :3
What should I call the monkeys?
*pokes Luna in the eye to escape the hug-strangle*
my little sister is making fun of me because I'm so happy that people are talking to me!
Tell her that she should go slip into something more comfortable - like a coma
*sticks a blade up val's nose to make herself feel better about her eye*
Oh, how mean I am!
aaw, my sister got pissed off! Diddums!
Oh well! She'll have to stick around - she's family!
shes trying to typre
*takes blade out of nose* *makes someone heal it and comes back*
*unleashes zombie horde to attack everyone*
hey scapegrace :)
I was here the whole time, too!
And you can call me any of:
L
Lu
Luc
Luce
Lucy
Luciana
Lucy Anna
Anna
Robyn
Can I call you Carl?
Hmmmmmmm... I think I'll be getting a package today...
Does anyone actually KNOW what's in the battle pack?
LuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLunaLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuceLuce
heehehehehehehheheh. My name is in There. heheheheh.100th!
oh. *hitches lift on a passing pigeon*
Imma call both of my monkeys Fido (they're named after each other) Imma call Luce Carl and Imma call the pigeon Kevin :3
what about me?
Battle Pack = Original Paperback SP + Cards of the characters.
I HAVE THAT LUCE!!
Imma call you Sugar - cos I know you'll hate it :3
I'm trying to find spoilers (I know, I'm a bad girl) But I CAN'T!!!!!!!
Yayyyyy, it's what I hoped it was! I'm getting it in the mail today when I get back home :D
I read ahead in Death Bringer... (I'm so ashamed) and I read Skulduggery's secret...
I hope China is in KOTW and is as Awesome as ever!!
need KOTW spoilers! My favourite SP fanfiction hasn't been updated (Flaring bloody Rhythm!) and I am suffering from lack of Skulduggery!
Then reread a Skulduggery book or something, that's what I always do.
I really don't want spoilers.
I am scared of what I will learn!
I'm scared I'll refuse to read the book because I will get my heart broken by something!
*laughs because she knows so many spoilers* GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH,
I have read each one five times in a row!!! And I've read teotw at least ten....ok Luna, just comment on more SP facebook groups. Find some fanfiction. Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalm
I hope China's in it as well! I know she helped kill Skulduggery's wife, but I felt really sorry for her when (Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't read DB) her library blew up and she was almost dead, and all she cared about was his and Valkyrie's forgiveness!
It's not working. Bye y'all *hugs*
Bye Luna! *Doesn't hug for fear of being harmed*
Luce, WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM???????????!!?!!!!!111!!ONE!!!11
I hope China DIES. *evil grin*
I love China, but if she dies, I want her to have a cool, onscreen death
Well yeah, she has to have an awesome death, but I really hope she dies...
I want the remnant to leave Tanith, get in China, and have someone kill her >:) I mean, I like her, but I prefer Tanith....
It's... It's.... Well it's BEAUTIFUL !!!!!! I WANT KOTW :'(
Hey everyone !!!!!!
I hope Guild dies.
I don't think Guild's going to be back till the last book...
Derek, next year can you tour here? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?
NO CHINA MUST NOT DIE
NOR TANITH!!
NOR GHASTLY!
NOR FLETCHER!!!!
ESPECIALLY FLETCHER!!
THEY ALL MUST LIVE!!
hello Cassidy :)
I think they'll get the remnamt out of Tanith - Ghastly was stone for one book, so Tanith will be possesed for one book, which was DB, so I think she'll be back in KOTW
I have Aussies telling me thinggggggs. ^_^
I agree with NJ!
If Fletcher was real... *.*
who ships Valduggery?
Hey Luna :-)
I ship them - if he was younger!
*shuts up almost instantly to avoid fandom war*
hello...Cass? can I call you Cass, or is that harassment?
@Luna I really really don't. That to me is just Wrong. On so many levels.
And Back off, look at the name FLETCHER IS MINE!!
Cass is fine :-D
Hey Cassidy!! *hugs*
How're you?!
Valduggery is just.... ewww. I am NOT for it at all.
Cassiddddddddddddddyyyyyyy. *hugs* Heyy! :)
Don't take it that I ship them as they are! No - that's sick! But Skulduggery's younger version would be good with Valkyrie - I think :/
I ship Ghanith most of all :( but no....*sobs*
I dno. He might have actually turned out to be really super ugly :P jk
No... I still think it would be bad... Skulduggery was MARRIED
I SHIP GHANITH!!
Haha! Imagine if he was 0.o
Hey NJ, i am good. How are you ??
Hey Luciana !!!!!!! *hugs back*
Skulduggery said Skulduggery looked good XD
I LOVE Ganith! I think they're so good together!
I am alright :D
GHANITH AND FLETCHER-J (me and Fletcher :P) FTW!!
WOW.
the back is even more amazing than the front!
G2g! Bye!
I ship Ghanith :-D
STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. *does a cheer about how Steak is the best pairing*
bye ;) i'm gonna go too. FArewell, my muffins *flies away*
Bye Skullbug !! :-)
Bye Skullbug!!
Nice to meet you!!
And Bye Luna!! Nice to meet you!!
Cheerio Luna !!!! :-D
Bye, Skullbug and Luna! *hugs both*
I'm afraid that i must leave too. Cheerio everyone !!!!!! I will be back later :-D <3 Xx
Hmm... I wonder if Jakro is still in Edmonds...
Bye Cassidy!
Bye Cassidy
*hugs*
Bye, Cassidy! TTYL! XX <3
I gotta go for a bit
BYE ALL!!
*hugs*
Bye-bye, NJ! *hugs*
Hello!
How is everyone?
Hello, Willow! c:
GHANITH!!! If the series doesn't end with a happy ending for Ghastly and Tanith, I my heart shall be filled with...emptiness. Does that make sense?? Haha, everything I say doesn't make sense. Apart from the Ghanith thing. That makes PERFECT sense ;) :3
THAT IS AWESOME!
Hah! My copy just arrived in the mail, and the cover is AMAZING!!!!
But don't worry, Minions, my lips are sealed. ;)
*Dashes off to read*
*tackles Molly in attempt to take her book*
I THINK THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE FANDOM FAMOUS/
EVERYONE KNOWS MY NAME.
*is scared*
HOW THE FRIG DID THIS HAPPEN?
SERIOUSLY!!! I JUST GOT MINE AND IM ALMOST FINISHED!!
YOU CAN NOT COMPREHEND HOW GOOD IT IS!!
IMAJJINE HOW GOOD YOU THINK ITS GONA BE RIGHT.... THEN TRIPLE QUADRUPEL IT!!!
IT IS ACTUALLY THAT GOOD.
I'm getting my copy today!!! Wooh! The back cover looks absolutely amazing by the way. I can't wait to meet you on your downunder tour Mr Landy, I will shower you with gifts of adoration and awesomeness for giving me the privilege of reading one of the most amazing book series ever! :)
^^^OKAY, NOW I'M EXCITED!!!! ^-^
...Fandom famous? I don't see how that would work...
*thinks* Ah, how I was practically famous here in October... Because of Derek's post about me...
Derek, I thank you times One hundred bajillion and two for when you did that :D
for a while I couldn't comment on the blog. I left a comment on bookwitch and got this : 'I am a VERY nice boy, I'll have you know, especially to poor little Minions who can't comment on my Blog on their birthdays. Ah you poor thing, you! Never mind. Forget all about that. Just focus on the fact that here, right now, as I'm typing this, I'm thinking about you, and you alone. Of all the billions of people in the world, Emily, the only one that matters to me right now is you. And I know you're worth it. Thanks for reading, and thank you Bookwitch for letting me know that I had a stranded Minion...!' yeah....that was in March. Still so happy about it!!!!!!!!!
Hi people! Ivy, if you're here, me and my brother are trying to remember the tick tock goes the clock song from Doctor Who, can you tell us the wordssss? Please? I told him you knew it then I came on here to ask . . .
Msd csgd, I'm meant to be sleepinggggg.
all I remember is 'tick tock goes the clock, even for the doctor....*creepy laughter*
Hi Luna!
I remember,
Tick tock, goes the clock,
He cradled and he rocked her,
Tick tock, goes the clock,
Even for the Doctor.
But when Ivy/Val wrote it all out, there were, like, five verses.
BOO! I IS BACK:D After much too long a holiday from the internet. So whats the craic? :)
I cannot be Fandom Famous! I BET DEREK DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM.
Anyone that //is// fandom famous Derek knows of. *nods*
