Paranormal Romance
David McK (3791 KP) rated Playing with Fire (Skulduggery Pleasant, #2) in Books
Nov 9, 2025
The second in Derek Landy's 'Skulduggery Pleasant' series (after Skulduggery Pleasant), this - for large part - feels juvenile, very much aimed towards a younger audience.
And then we get short, sudden shocks of pure body horror, enough to give (I imagine) the more sensitive young reader nightmares.
So, if it was a movie, large parts PG, maybe, with certain other sections more like an 18.
Anyway, knowing that (and with that in mind), it's enjoyable enough, continuing on the story of Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain that was started in the previous novel, with plenty of plot threads left hanging open for the sequels.
