About this deal
Hella confused and a little bit disappointed but to be very honest, I’m a diehard SP fan so this review … will be way too biased. I don't enjoy Across A Dark Plane for the simple reason that I thought Skulduggery's characterisation was a little off.

With the help of Skulduggery, Valkyrie wants to stop evil forces threatening the world, but also find justice for her uncle’s death. In October 2022, Landy announced via YouTube livestream that a "one-off prequel" and "Book 0·1", officially titled Skulduggery Pleasant: Hell Breaks Loose (titled on-page as Hell Breaks Loose: From the World of Skulduggery Pleasant, the same titling scheme as the 2013 novella Tanith Low in. Back at the inn, they meet Meritorious who introduces the Masked Sisters and followers of the Lady of Darkness, Sister Rapture, Sister Zeal and Sister Stone. This is the story of the 400-year-old detective named Skulduggery Pleasant who is a walking and talking skeleton, and his partner Stephanie Edgley who goes by the name Valkyrie Cain. While a proper prequel might have been lovely, the time-travel aspect did not diminish the fun - at least not to me.As the war with Mevolent rages on, the Dead Men are dispatched to a walled town in the Tuscan hills – not to assassinate the Lord of the Dark Sorcerers, but to save him. It is revealed that Hopeless was a Knife in the Darkness, an assassin and that he seemingly has a different personality for different people, explaining why he was said to have many faces.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Hell Breaks Loose
This book is fun and easy to read in a way that a series sometimes limits; it's just what I needed for a little summer holiday action. That's not to say that the Hidden God and Strickent Abhor aren't interesting characters, and I did enjoy the moral conflict within Valkyrie over killing an innocent man to save the world, but really, another god?When it falls back into being a modern Skulduggery Pleasant book though, is when it falls completely flat on its face.
