About this audiobook
Skulduggery, Valkyrie and Omen return in the 14th and penultimate novel in the internationally bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series – and their most epic test yet…
In a matter of days, the world will change.
Billions of lives will be wiped away in a final, desperate search for the Child of the Faceless Ones — she who is destined to bring about the return of humankind's ancient overlords.
To prevent this, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain have one last – terrible – option: the assassination of Damocles Creed. With protests stirring in the magical city of Roarhaven, with riots and revolutions on the horizon, Valkyrie must decide who she wants to be: the hero who risks everything for a noble ideal, or the killer who sacrifices her own soul for the fate of humanity.
The decision must be made, and time is running out.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am trying no to give any spoilers, but there where a few underwhelming parts in this book of the series.
I was hoping for a better character development, then what there was.
The one thing I was thinking throughout reading and listening to this book was; right, like always, like always they managed to change the future. And at the very end I thought did they though?
I do recommend this series, but this wasn't one of my favourites sadly enough.
