Bedlam

Skulduggery Pleasant, Book 12

By: Derek Landy

Narrated by: Kevin Hely

The 12th explosive novel in the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series, BEDLAM will blow your mind – and change everything…

On a desperate journey to recover her sister's lost soul, Valkyrie Cain goes up against the High Sanctuary itself, and there's nothing Skulduggery Pleasant can do to stop her.

With Abyssinia's grand plan about to kick off in a night of magic, terror, and bloodshed, it falls to Omen Darkly to save the lives of thousands of innocent people.

And as the madness unfolds around him, as hidden enemies step into the light, and as Valkyrie is sucked into a desperate, lawless quest of her own, he has no choice but to become the hero he never really wanted to be — or die in the attempt.

Critic reviews

“A high-intensity tale….Readers, particularly Artemis Fowl fans, will be skipping meals and sleep to get to the end.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Utterly charming…perfect for the Potter crowd.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Rich fantasy that is as engaging in its creative protagonists and villains as it is in the lightning-paced plot and sharp humor.”
— BCCB

“Landy keeps the action brisk, his characters slightly macabre, and uses humor to take the edge off.”
— ALA Booklist

“Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humor, magic and adventure. Once you’ve met Stephanie and Skulduggery, you’ll be clamoring for a sequel.”
— Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

love it

Best ever love it so much Best ever sky's the limit love it so much

Amazing!

I still miss Rupert Degas’s voice as Skulduggery and a few other characters. But this latest book is a wonderful continuation of the series with twists & turns, grand action, and witty one liners.

Excellent

Love these books hope the series continues absolutely wonderful must read for all ages!! Looking forward to the next

So disappointed

How much can one character be tortured or beaten? The author seems intent on finding out to the detriment of the story. Turns sadistic and boring. Sad state for a pretty good series which should have ended two books ago.
