- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Rich fantasy that is as engaging in its creative protagonists and villains as it is in the lightning-paced plot and sharp humor."

"Landy keeps the action brisk, his characters slightly macabre, and uses humor to take the edge off."
- ALA Booklist
"Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humor, magic and adventure. Once you've met Stephanie and Skulduggery, you'll be clamoring for a sequel."
