I just finished Skulduggery 3 and loved it! Was so shocked by the ending but was a great indication of what book 4 will be based on! I do agree that we didn't get enough of Skulduggery's wit but I really enjoyed how much darker the book was compared with the first two. It worked well too because it shows how Valkyrie has grown up and improved in skill! Do not want to wait for the forth book! I want it now! X

SPOILERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I really loved it, as sad is it was.
My theory: Vakyrie is shaping out to be the villain.

SPOILERS ALERT!!!
Yeh, Valkyre could be a villain. OMG! Wat if she does become a villain and Skuldug finds out in the middle of a fight and he kills her and he is SO angry cos he has 2 kill her. That wud explain ghastlys mums prediction! I dunno how Derek landy will write buk 4 cos there will hardly be any skulduggery in it, its more about valkyrie and Skuldug is a lot of peoples fave charector (he is mine) I wud laf if skuldug found out that valkyrie was wanting to be a necromancer!!!!! LOL!!!! Luved it wen he punched that necromancer. HURRY UP BOOK 4, I CANT WAIT!!!!
Buk 4 may be out same time as this one nxt year as the paperbak is out sept this year, so it will tell you in there. So probably this time nxt year.

(may contain spoilers)
i think that valkyrie wont swap from being an elemental to necromancer, i think that she will find some way to do both, and with what wreath says, it indicates that there must be something special about her, for him to actually want to help her. and dont you think it would be funny if she were to start dating flecture, there was definatly something between them... and something tells me that the end will leav us hanging moresow than the last...

SPOILER
Valkyrie becomes the villain.

spoiler :D

^OMG I know! I'd worked it out, but I was praying it wasn't true :/ on the last page of 'dark days' though, when you actually found out, I was just like...'shit.'
