"I don't know what they are, but there are dozens of them, relatively small, moving as a pack."
"They might be kittens," she said hopefully.
"They're stalking us."
"They might be shy."
"I don't think it's kittens, Valkyrie."
"Puppies then?"

I love Skulduggery and Valkyrie. I'm so glad I decided to reread this (in English this time) and I can't wait until I can get my hands on Midnight.
This book is extremely funny with a great sense of humor (Skulduggery and Valkyrie bickering is the best!), but dark at the same time, full of action and suspense to keep you glued to the pages. This series belongs to favorites and this reread has proven to me once again that Derek Landy deserves his place amongst my favorite authors.

“Are you going to shoot me?' Vengeous sneered. 'I wouldn't be surprised. What would a thing like you know about honor? Only a heathen would bring a gun to a sword fight.'

And only a moron would bring a sword to a gunfight.”
