Hey guys, this is Abi here,
And I'm back with my 2nd update on how my Skulduggery Pleasant re-read is going!
I'll be honest. Not as pleasant a start as Month 1, but I have made a good amount of progress within the last week, so hopefully I can keep that momentum going in May!
I hope you enjoy reading about the progress I've made!
5. Mortal Coil
Reading days: 20th March- 31st March
Considering this was in the high 500s, I was pretty happy with how quickly I progressed with this. A lot happens at the end of this, that pushes the story along, and it will always be one of my favourites in the series. Reading this book through for the first time, I felt like it had one of the biggest shock twists so far. I still feel like that today, several years later. Even a couple of books down, the characters are still reeling from the repercussions that Mortal Coil presents.
6. Death Bringer
Reading days: 1st April- 7th April
I sure flew through this one! 603 pages, 7 days!
A very minor character/ quartet of characters become centre stage in this one, not to mention the mysterious Darquesse is a bit more centre too. As you can see, there's a Death Bringer, brought forward by none other than the Necromancers, whose meant to stop the passage of life and death, and bring about a new existence. So there's a new potential Death Bringer, Melancholia. She's the new threat for Valkyrie and Skulduggery, because they're trying to stop her. It's basically a whole load of chaos, a lot of deaths, a lot of last minute saves. It's bedlam basically.
Personally, after Mortal Coil, this feels like a bit of a drop. I committed to this early because I wanted to get to the next book, Kingdom of the Wicked, and although a lot does happen a lot, I usually get to a point in this one where I want it to be over. That did happen, but I still enjoyed it enough to give it a five stars.
7. Kingdom of the Wicked
Reading days: 9th April- 28th April
Truly, I don't know what happened here. In Kingdom of the Wicked, a whole bunch of mortals develop magic. A sorcerer, who has been in a magically induced coma for a couple of decades, gifts these mortals magic in their dreams, and then they start running riot. Aside from that, Valkyrie gets shunted to a different dimension, where the world's most violent murderer is still alive. I usually really enjoy this book. But for some reason I never found the time to sit down and have a long haul of reading.
I finished it, that's the main thing. And the fact that I'm now behind on my Goodreads goal may well be the motivation I need to catch up.
Which brings me to my current read.
7.5. Tanith Low in the Maleficent Seven
Funny enough, I've only read this the once, that I can recall, and I don't remember liking it all that much. But this read through? I'm loving every page. It's basically a race between the good guys and bad guys to retrieve the god-killer weapons before Darquesse attempts to destroy most of the world. What's better than that? Oh yeah, one of my favourite characters of all time is the protagonist- Tanith Low.
Overall
Total page count from 23/03- 30/04: 1857
Average page count a day: 48 pages a day, rounded up. Not bad.
Same as last month, I am still really enjoying this read through of Skulduggery Pleasant. Next book is Last Stand of Dead Men, which is pretty self explanatory.
Okay! That is everything I have for you all today! I hope you enjoyed reading about my progress, and feel free to comment below, literally anything!
See you all soon!
Byeeee!
