Playing with Fire (Skulduggery Pleasant, #2)
by
by
actual rating: 4.5/5 stars
We're not retreating, we're advancing in reverse.
Well for a sequel that i hadn't picked up in nearly a year i still managed to jump back into this world and enjoy it as much as the first book.
Plot: we'll plot wise i think this book was a lot stronger from the first book and it definitely has matured and stepped up. I loved how much the dynamic between Skulduggery and Valkyrie has changed in the course of the year story plot i think these two have now a good understanding of each other and each work and it worked really well for this story.
New threats are coming and still on there way and i love the way that once they have finished in a big fit that it isn't over and Derek lets the reader know that things are still not over and far from it.
Characters:
Valkyrie Cain: Stephanie *Valkyrie* has grown so much and i think this world suites this character so much like she has being destained to be in the world all a long. Her powers have matured and continue to do so and i'm impressed on how much of an impact this world has had on her. I also think once Valkyrie's powers have matured more i think she she will be one huge force to reckon with and i cannot wait to see that happen.
I'm also trying to get used to the name change from her going from Stephanie to Valkyrie because her named changed so her enemies don't learn her real one but all and all it's still confusing!
Skulduggery Pleasant: Skulduggery is such a master mind in everything he does and it kind of freaks me out with how calculated he is and knows what to do before anyone else. I still do really enjoy this character though he is smart, unique and different to many main leads in middle grade series so it's refreshing to meet a character who is the good guy but also very calculated.
His relationship with Valkyrie continues to surprise me because he will do anything for her but will also put her life in danger and tell her the reasons later it really is strange for him to it but he does have his reasons on why he does it.
Please forgive me," Pleasant said, then aimed the gun at the girl and pulled the trigger
This series has continued to surprise me in ways that i couldn't have imagined and i cannot wait to begin book three and continue this adventure with Stephanie and Skulduggery
