review 1: I'll agree with another reviewer on here that it's difficult to write a DW story in short form because often you need space to develop entire species and planets. But this story is simply clever: the Doctor and Martha land on basically a storybook planet. I won't go into details ...

review 1: puuuuhhh! Band 3 kann mit seinen Humor locker mit den Vorgängern mithalten. Ich liebe die Dialoge. Sogar die Bösewichte! :D Das Ende spannt mich allerdings sehr auf die Folter! Was bedeutet, dass ich wohl oder übel auch Band 4 lesen muss. :D Ich würde es aber auch ohne den Cliffh...

review 1: Finally, a Skulduggery book that is close to amazing. Unlike the first two, this book offered mystery as well as the likable characters and dark humor that we have grown to love. The journey to work out who the villain was was excruciatingly annoying but strangely thrilling all i...

review 1: Gold, Babies and the Brothers Muldoon is a free short story set in the Skulduggery Pleasant world. In terms of chronology it comes at the end of the second book, though I read it after the sixth and it didn't feel out of place. It is very much stand alone, containing a self conta...
