I can think of very few authors from whom I've read more than one series, or even more than one book. I've read five Austens which is really unusual for me. That's probably the most book I've read from one author not including longer series. But yeah.<br /><br />It's so cool! Hence you should read Skulduggery, like, now.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-20290486818918981872016-04-20T21:52:09.225+01:002016-04-20T21:52:09.225+01:00So I've never read a Derek Landy book.

I'm not sure if I've ever had that, because I don't read enough from one specific author. But I do see what you're saying and it does make sense. Especially when the character dynamics are so similar. I like what you say about Landy using female MC for a "boy" books. I never thought of it that way. But you're right! That's very cool that he can pull that off.<br /><br />Now I need to read a Landy book.a.n.g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03667996517318905980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-13501539012964405522016-04-11T12:23:06.917+01:002016-04-11T12:23:06.917+01:00Nothing can indeed replace those first loves!

It's good that Landy is still finding ways of changing it up a bit though. It's too bad you were let down by this one after your Skulduggery hangover, but it happens I guess. Pretty sure it's unavoidable. Nothing can replace our first loves (HP and TRC and SP), and yet it's nice to see our fave authors branching out, trying something new. I think it's excellent that you read this one despite reservations and had an open mind enough to appreciate all that Landy got right :)Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-53054863927300398722016-04-11T05:40:28.854+01:002016-04-11T05:40:28.854+01:00THEY'RE SO GOOD THOUGH.
