    ReplyDelete
  67. please. please talk to us O Golden God.

    ReplyDelete
  68. TACKLEHUG YOU AND THEN CRY INTO YOUR SHOULDER.

    When he said everybody's dying, he meant everybody, didn't he? ;_;

    And the way Mr Pleasant is holding his head. It's just cries.
    How the Hell he fit humour into this book? Even Derek? With the dead and the cries? Is is even possible?

    ReplyDelete
  69. DEREK PLEASEEE!!!! PLEASE COME ON!!! I CAN IMPERSONATE YOU AGAIN AND IT'LL BE FUN!

    ReplyDelete
  70. DEREK LAMDY IM CRYING I THINK THATS THE SANCTUARY ON FIRE I SWEAR IT WASNT ME

    ReplyDelete
  71. 'No one is Safe'

    From my tears when I saw this...

    (am I the only one who kinda wants Valkyrie to 'die' and then see Skulduggery's break down and then his joy when she returns?)

    ReplyDelete
  72. *whimper* i can't feel like this for another three months. well think of it like this. valkyrie can't die, there's still one more book to go. what if that's her reflection, and skulduggery doesn't know it :o

    ReplyDelete
  73. Why, Derek? How could you even..? MAKE HAPPIES. MAKE FUNNIES. MAKE LaUGHIES. MAKE IT THE UNICORN STORY. NOBODY DIES. Please? I don't want to cry.
    With the fire and the deadness and the sad. It's so beautiful. Derek and Tom make an evil (but wonderful) team, no?

    @Zaf: NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

    @Derek: CLARABELLE AND FINBAR ANDS SCAPEGRACE HAD ALL BETTER SURVIVE THIS, MISTER. OR THERE WILL BE TROUBLE.

  79. I never said this befor, but I LOVE his shoes. They are so... gentleman like.

    ReplyDelete
  80. *glomps Kallista because she may have gone but it's still been too long since I last did that*

    *returns to state of shock and feels*

    I can just imagine hidden microphones in the book so he can listen to our sobs and laugh with that blissful satisfaction that only making an entire fandom cry can bring upon person.

    ReplyDelete
  81. This cover is the most beautiful of all, even better than the fifth in paperback that was my favourite until now =) I love it!

    Good Golden God! (That's a figure of speech. What I mean is BAD GOLDEN GOD. BAD, BAD GOLDEN GOD.)

    I think I'm more upset about the Bentley than I am about Val.
    Because, if she's dead, Val will come back, y'know? :(

  107. Derek can't kill Val....

    Because he'll have the entire SP fandom out for his blood. He's not that stupid...I think. I hope.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I can't believe I got first, omgg. :'D
    I haven't gotten first... IN A LONG TIME.
    AND OF ALL POSTS TO GET FIRST.

    VICTORYYYYYY!!

    #ChaseForBook9

    ReplyDelete
  109. This is Derek OF COURSE he would do EXACTLY that. He has no idea I will make him a Derek-Kabob

    ReplyDelete
  110. THE BENTLEY CAN'T DIE!! DEREK!! YOU CAN'T BE THAT CRUEL!!!!!!! IF YOU HAVE A SLIVER OF HUMANITY, THEN YOU WILL NOT. KILL. THE. BENTLEY.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Yeah Jubi. I hope so. i would say that if he kills Val in book 9 then I'll stop reading but that seems pointless, seeing as ow its the end...

    ReplyDelete
  112. I didn't think it was the Bentley at first... But now that he pointed it out... D:

    ReplyDelete
  113. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THe feels...

    ReplyDelete
  114. ANOTHER THOUGHT

    WHAT IS DEREK KILLS GHASTLY.

    MY PRECIOUS GHASTLY

    I WOULD ACTUALLY... I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO I'D FREAKING KILL SOMEONE

    ReplyDelete
  115. HE WON'T KILL VAL.

    AND HE WON'T MURDER THE BENTLEY.

    WHAT IF THEY HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE CANARY CAR AGAIN? T.T

    He won't kill them. He can't kill them.
    He kills Val and the Bentley and he will drown in the blood and tears of his fandom.

    The first to letters of those last three sentences were all capitalised. I went to fix them, but they spelled HEHEHE. DEREK IS LAUGHING AND MOCKING US THROUGH MY TYPOS, GUYS.

    #CHaseForBook9

    ReplyDelete
  116. Guys its a BUILDING it doesnt have frame work of a car! That has to be a building. Its the Sanctuary in war obviouly to win you'd kill the Grand Mage or take the Sanctuary...

    Msd i gtg to maths soon

    ReplyDelete
  117. No. Not Ghastly. He's already had his dying-ish bit. He can't have another one.

    Also, whats happened to Tanith????

    ReplyDelete
  118. i

    oh god

    so gorgeous I can't

    THIS IS THE ONE THAT'S GONNA KILL ME ISN'T IT

    ReplyDelete
  119. I love China.

    Oh god, what if she dies?

    ReplyDelete
  120. ...What if they're in a plane crash?? It looks like plane wreckage.
    It looks remote, like where a plane crash could happen...

    #ChaseForBook9

    ReplyDelete
  121. No Zafira. China will not die. She;s too epic!

    ReplyDelete
  122. SHE IS.

    I MET DEREK WHEN GETTING TMS

    AND I ASKED HIM

    AND HE SAID SHE'S GETTING A RETURN ;O MAYBE POSSIBLY

    ReplyDelete
  123. I would hate Ghastly to die but I think that he is such a loved character it is very possible.

    This is what I would love to happen...

    Tanith finnally gets back to normal on the battle field. She goes in for the big kiss with Ghastly but is then stabbed from behind. Ghastly goes insane; as does Billy-Ray and they fight for Taniths last kiss...

    Who will win?

    ReplyDelete
  124. And i cant even type any more im just going to give up

    ReplyDelete
  125. ERSKINE LOVER THAT'S FREAKING EPIC
