Book Review: Dying of The Light

 Summary: The FINAL shocking, heart-wrenching book in the jaw-droppingly stupendous Skulduggery Pleasant series 
 Valkyrie. Darquesse. Stephanie. The world ain’t big enough for the three of them. The end will come… 
 The War of the Sanctuaries has been won, but it was not without its casualties. Following the loss of Valkyrie Cain, Skulduggery Pleasant must use any and all means to track down and stop Darquesse before she turns the world into a charred, lifeless cinder.
 And so he draws together a team of soldiers, monster hunters, killers, criminals… and Valkyrie’s own murderous reflection.
 The war may be over, but the final battle is about to begin. And not everyone gets out of here alive…

Thoughts: Now, I know the summary claims that this is the final book and that was the original intention but Landy has just released another this past year of 2017 and it looks like more are on the way so, fans, don't panic!
 Anyways this really was an amazing, heart-wrenching, gut-twisting, book. Once it started rolling it didn't stop till the end and kept you guessing the whole time. And the end just left me breathless. The entire thing was an emotional marathon.
 The characters, new, returning, old, familiar, loved, hated; everyone gets things wrapped up but not everything's tied up the way I'd have liked. Even so, it makes a great almost-ending to one of my favorite series!

Content: Language is the number one problem with these books B****, H***, D***, and there might have been a use or two of F***. Then there's the violence; brutal, bloody and unfettered, people are literal beaten to death. There are at least two scenes where women were known to be naked and in front of people, neither situation was sexual or detailed but they clearly didn't have anything on and it was uncomfortable to say the least. 
  All in all, this is not a kids book, don't let the listing fool you. This is a series for mature readers meaning young adults or older. For those good at skimming through scenes and with strong stomachs, but this is also one of the funniest and most amazing series' I've ever read with an amazing dynamic and relationship. Worth the read for those who ca handle the content.
