Fate decided to play nice and deliver
Skulduggery Pleasant: The Dying of the Light by Derek Landy into my greedy hands a day early, so that's what I spent eight straight hours on today.
This was not the kind of book I could just put down and go to sleep.
And.... Whoah. I'm terribly sad the series is over now - this was the ninth and final book - but it was an excellent ending, full of twists and turns and heartbreak and ... overall, a really fitting send-off to what started out as "oh, this is a fun children's series" and turned, over the course of five years, into my favourite series of all time. (And yes, I'm a grown-up. I'm not going to feel guilty about it.
)
I feel rather bereft now, though. Don't think I'll feel up to reading anything else for the next week or few - especially as I'll be travelling to the UK next week, to get my books signed by Derek.
