Re-reading the Skulduggery Pleasant series fills me with nostalgia and I get sad. I remember finding the first book in the library of my secondary school which I'd just started. I was 12, I was an anxious little gremlin. So was Valkyrie. It kind of feels I've grown up with her...but a lot slower considering she's 25 now and I'm 17.
I've just started BEDLAM, and as per usual, it's amazing and honestly I hope I get to meet Derek one day if he tours again. I'd like to thank him.
