This comments section is ONLY for people who have read the final book. Even so, when you comment, try to be subtle about it. I'm always astonished that people will happily go reading stuff that has SPOILERS written all over it, and they have no idea what they've wandered into...

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 267 of 267Also, fabi, what is that?
Honestly can't believe that this series is over. What am I going to do with my life now? This book has wrecked me, I stayed up all night to read it and now it's over I actually have no idea what to do with myself!
Mr Landy, thank you so much for writing these amazing books! The Dying of the Light was such a fitting end to a phenomenal series! Thank you for the gift that is Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain, I have loved every single moment of their story and can't express how much these characters mean to me. Your books are the ones I always return to, and they will always hold a place on my bookshelf. Thank you so much!
Mang Bean: All saracen has to do, provided he is conscious, is tell someone what his power is
Mia McCullough: The problem is no-one from the same event, or Derek, has agreed with your comment about Saracen's Powers, so we can't take your word for it 100%. Though I hope it's true. If only you'd recorded the Q and A
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY *sobs*.
I am serious Derek...why?
So perfect...yet so much torment....
I loved it! I can't....WHAT...It's over...why is it over....
I don't regret a moment of this, thankyou Mr Landy, thankyou.
P.S I'm sorta new here...Well I've been watching from the shadows for over a year now (I was the reason you could feel the hairs on the back of your neck raise whenever you were alone). I just felt t that it is last book and all, so may as well. So...hi!
SCREEEEEEE
OKAY SI I JUST READ THE FIRST BIT OF CHAPTER 17 AND OMG
THAT IS AMAZING
DEREK
"Do you want a hug"
XD
Cercion: who says Sarah's still alive, anyway, he might not want to tell anyone what his power is.
Mia: if Derek is saracen in the books, how does he not know everything?
*saracen's
Y'ALL DEX IS ALIVE IT WAS CONFIRMED AT THE MILTON KEYNES SIGNING
Seriously??? Yay!!!
Mang, yep! Someone on Tumblr asked at the Milton Keynes signing, and he said he was 'traumatised', and its hard to be traumatised if you;re dead.
Yay!!!
Until The End.
Thank you so much for all of your amzing Skulduggery Pleasant books! I enjoyed it so much to read them.
There are so many plot twist and unexpected actions, especially in The Dying Of The Light, I was totaly surprised sometimes. It also cost me a lot of self control reading some parts of your books when you killed one of my favorite characters and then an other and then another is possessed by a remnant and then you killed another one. You know what I mean. But I laughed so hard about Skulduggery's jokes or when he talks with Valkyrie like in Death Bringer the part about "The sparrow flies south for winter". Or Valkyrie's parent's stupid and funny conversations and comments. My favourite one:
Valkyrie's mum picked up Alice. "If our something happens to her, Des, if she...If our daughter dies, I will never forgive you." Holding Alice tightly to her, she walked out. Valkiery's dad wathed her go. "Do your best not to die, sweetie", he said quietly. "She's the only one who knows how to work the dishwasher." Then he followed after her.
Hahahahahaha! Derek, you're a genius! I really admire how you can do it to keep every single page that much interesting even after eight books! I read every book of the series in one go. I didn`t care if I had school on the next day or something, I just couldn't stop. Also I think your books really helped me to improve my English. (Now I can say that I'm glad that it takes the german publisher so long to release your books. :) I live in Austria, so if I don't want to wait one year until I can read your new masterpiece...)
Im so sad about the fact that there won't be any new Skulduggery Pleasant books...But I'm sure these amazing charaters will live on in my head. Anyways, once again thank you so much! You're the best author I know. Skulduggery Pleasnt is just the best, the funniest and the most amazing and epic series ever! Thank you so much!
Probably been asked a few thousand times and this will probably go ignored but... Why wasn't any chapter ever written in Skulduggery's perspective? How many secrets can a living skeleton actually have. Most of his big secrets were revealed in Death Bringer so why wasn't at least in the last book, any chapter written in his perspective? The book is named after him after all haha... Also, quite a few loose ends in the end but I'm not complaining as I'm too busy attending to the big hole left in my heart knowing that there will never be another Skulduggery book. Almost as if the books were a remnant that has left its host, ie. Me DDD:
Derek was/is in Newcastle today and I got my entire collection signed.
Derek asked me if I had any questions, and I asked him if it was true that his Taken Name is Saracen Rue. He smiled at me and admitted that Yes, Saracen Rue is his Taken Name, and while the character doesn't look, act etc. like Derek he is, in his words, 'His avatar'.
He then told me that Saracen doesn't 'know things' because he is Derek, he knows things because of his power, which he said he was keeping a secret
I have read these books since the first time they were introduced to be back in 2008. I have then managed to get my girlfriend and my step son to read these with me.
Thank you so much for an amazing book series which has tied us all together and left us guessing at so many points as to what will happen next!
My only concern now is; what is the next series going to be!?
Just wow... I stayed up reading till 5am last night to finish it and when you made out that so many people died.. I genuinely had tears in my eyes. And when Skulduggery and the accelerator, but at least Ravel got what he deserved. I wanted to know what happened to Vex too, I always thought him and Val would've ended up together. But thank you for the single most amazing book series i have ever read, I will never forget it and take my copies with me to university with me next week (yes i'm almost 20)
Hey Derek,
To be quite honest I don't really know where to start...
...well now it seems I already have.
I know you've been told this a thousand times before - your books have inspired me and Skulduggery Pleasant has been a big part of my life etcetera et cetera. And yet, your books have INDEED inspired me as a reader & writer and Skulduggery IS a big part of me now. But to keep things nice and succinct:
Thank you.
I know EVERYONE says that they cannot thank you enough and that it might be conforming for me to repeat such phrases but honestly your books are truly amazing and I can’t thank you enough for writing them. The Skulduggery Pleasant series for me is where real reading all began, and seem to be the ones I keep coming back to (5 times each book to be precise) and so I think it is only apt I say thank you. Your characters are real to me, as is the world in which they live and I'm proud to say I'm one of many who believe in them. Perhaps not in a tangible sense (though we all hope) but nonetheless we like that we got to be immersed and a part of their universe.
Anyway, in case I don't meet you in Australia - though I really hope I do make it - in sincerity I thank you for Skulduggery Pleasant and his world and that you have allowed any-old-one such as myself to be a part of it.
My name is Joel Wybrew, I'm 16, I live in Australia and I really like your books.
Maybe that's how I should've started...
Now that that is said and done:
God bless and cheers,
Joel.
I think I might be alone with this opinion, but I did not love the last book. I think I may of had my expectations too high and I know it is the last book so there wasn't much that could of been done but the book did not wow me. I liked the book a lot but it was not OMGITSAMAZING its just a pretty good book. The ending was amazing though and I like how you showed how Val was after it all.
I did not like the reflection/Stephanie and I have to admit, I was not really sad when she died. I know that she did not have enough life experience to really make good decisions but I HATED it at the end of LSODM when she took Val's place as partner.
I have been reading these books for six years and It started out as a book that I randomly grabbed from my school library because it was a long weekend and I knew i wouldn't have enough to read. But i tore through them and eagerly awaited the next one (by the way I totally knew the reflection/Stephanie was messed up)
Overall, I congratulate you on an amazing book series and I can't wait to see you this year in Brisbane, Australia.
NONONONONONONONONONONONO ;-;
Finished the book.
Wow.
Damn it, wow.
I had all these theories about what was going to happen - my strongest one of these was thinking he'd use the Accelerator to suck the Remnant out of Tanith, but, all things considered, I'm not complaining about what really happened.
I could not have asked for a better ending. Well, I could, but it never would have happened.
Thankyou for seven years of magic.
Thankyou for seven years of anticipation.
And thankyou, most of all, for seven years of Skulduggery Pleasant.
It really has been truly amazing.
Until the End.
I can't believe valkeryrie a in the soul catcher
I still have one question: What did Ravel say about my dying....-.Zaf
I just...its over. I finished over an hour ago, and its over. This is it, the end. Nothing left.
I'm.:.honored to have been part of this series. To...have been shipped and killed off.
The past few years have been truly amazing, today I can say; Yeah I met Derek Landy, yes I have someone in the books who is me. And to think- it's an honor.
I'm sad to let this go, Derek made things happen that I didn't think could. What fangirl would die to have their character have a thing with their fictional love? I can say I have. I love Ravel with all my heart, this just...wow.
SP is something I'll never forget, now we have 2015 to handle...
-Zafira Kerias
Star will be ecstatic when she reads chapter 26. She'll be bouncing off the walls.
AND ZAFFY!!!! *huggles*
at least you're still alive irl. and you don't have a popped head.
HAHAHA IKNOW
And Derek, you evil person. though i could see 23 happening. DAMN YOU
Just wait til the chapter 27 or 28....-Zaf
Oh god that book....I still...wow...-Zaf
Please, no one spoil it for Star.
I heard that someone emailed her the chapter number to watch out for... I understand how tempting that is. I want to see her reaction, too. Nevertheless, I'm sure she would prefer to be as completely surprised as she can be. I know a few of you aren't too sensitive about spoilers, but she is, so please, please keep quiet.
What about Gracious and Donegan?
And Saracen?
Can I just say how awesome the poeticness of the later chapters is?
How the numbers are there and the sentences.
I really liked it. :-)
Put off reading it as long as possible, but I'm going to the signing in Belfast tomorrow so I had to read it today. Finished it about a half hour ago and now I just feel numb. This is ridiculous
I asked Derek about dexter at the signing today and he said if you dont see a dead body be optimistic.
OMG Can't believe she killed Alice but at least she came back and Darquesse is the faceless ones problem now YAY!!!!!!!
Damn it, just had the book ruined for me. Make a new blog post, Derek!
(No spoilers please)
Sweet mother of god...
Dear Derek,
For some reason I can't think of anything that hasn't been said already, so let me just say this: thank you. The way the SP books have impacted my life and huge and fantastic, but I have learnt so so so much from the best thing of all: this community.
I learnt that internet friends will always be there for you. I learnt that distances don't matter when it comes to making friendships or creating special bonds.
And most importantly I learnt what an amazing person you are, Mr. Landy, for creating these books, for creating this community, and for creating me.
I have grown up with the books, and so they are forever a part of me.
Until the end.
9 books and what a journey you w taken us on Derek. The books have had everything:
More twists than a cheese twist
More evil villains than a bond movie
More fights than a game of tekken
Thank you Derek for the wonderful journey but the books lacked one thing.....killer cyborg unicorns.
Skulduggery pleasant vs the killer cyborg unicorns has a ring to it.
Book 10 Derek, book 10
Has anyone ever noticed Derek is called the Gollden god and Ravel(that damn bastard, i read his treacherous part in class and nearly almost cussed outloud i was soo pissed, damn traitor) I digress, the traitor has golden eyes as well
I feel like a little part of me has been cut out, that I've lost a close friend. I laughed, I cried, I laughed again. And hell, it was amazing.
i cried so much!
thank you golden god and your amazing stories!!
DAMMIT LANDY!!! THIS BOOK
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF ANYMORE
AND NOW KNOWING THAT IT'S OVER AND IS NEVER COMING BACK IS JUST LIKE... WTF?!
But seriously, this book was fantastic and I honestly can't think of a better way that it could have ended.
Although having a few of the unanswered questions that have been asked in the comments above would be particularly nice....
I need to find something else to do with my life now. I still can't totally accept the fact that it's over.
OVER.
FOR GOOD.
NO MORE.
It's like having your favorite tv show end.... but it's not really since it's not a tv show.....
but it's the same idea
but there's just more pain involved
yeah... now I'm just typing in stuff to try and calm down
I'll stop here.
Quick question for everyone: would you have killed Alice too or would you have tried to find another way? Derek, what would you have done?
Wow I loved this book so so so so so so so much!!! THANK YOU DEREK!!!:)
Finished it. Just finished it. I was prepared to sob my heart out, for all my favorite characters to die but I didn't! (Kinda disappointed that I didn't sob but loved the book so darn much!!!!!!!!!!!!)
And I was prepared to cry at the end just when I got home because I was at school and then I read the last chapter and I laughed so hard.
OH MY GOSH AND ZAFFY!!!!!!
I was laughing so darn hard. For some reason I found it hilarious! Oh my gosh.... XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
Thank you so much Derek Landy for an amazing ending to an amazing series.
I'm so glad my teacher read them out loud in 3rd grade....!!!!!!

I just forgot I have more I got attached to the book as soon as I payed eyes on the first page, I'm really sad there will be no new skulduggery books because every night (I know this is weird) I would wish it was true. But of course I knew it wouldn't come true but when I read it I felt like I was living one the book! These charecters have awesome personalities, I hate ravel for what he did! I want to grab him punch him I cried when ghastly died and Anton is where I live Anton cours so I'm always reminded by it... But on the brighter side............ He pays but...... Ghastly one of my fave charecters (Valkyrie, tanith, skullduggery, China, ghastly dexter, fletcher) lol I love most of the manes I hate ravel! I have said this once I can say again! I hate him
The end has come. After all this time. And you have not disappointed. Nay, you have exceeded expectations.
Derek - I cannot thank you enough for the magical, mind-blowing masterpiece you have produced, and the fantastic conclusion to round it off.
I have followed you until the end.
And I will follow you further.
Uh... He doesn't...
(*walks in holding my tummy in minor pain* hello *smiles*)
I'm from Germany, where TDOTL isn't even published. But when I read LSODM, I was thinking: "Can I wait twelve months until the last book will be published?" The answer was obvious, so I bought this amazing book on Amazon, even if I was a little scared of reading English.
I'm not sure, but I think I was about three days only reading, no conversation possible...
And I would really say, it's epic(the book, not reading secretly in school and ignore all my friends XD).
Definitly one of my favourite books and one of the best I have ever read.
Mr. Landy, you've made me cry and laugh so many times.
Also it is not that terrible that you don't tell us who died and who not or that some mysteries aren't cleared.
That means there's the opportunity to believe.
(I hope Dexter has survived. And the question who will be Valkyries boyfriend is actually torturing me, but alright...)
You say in your dedication that you maybe have thought us to be better persons.
Maybe that isn't even a lie.
Thank you so much for these unbelievable, stunning, simply awesome books.
You did really good work. :D
(Sorry for my bad English. I gave my best.)
