The characters aren't always what you'd expect and I found Skulduggery's acerbic style refreshing after years of ki....

Stephenie is good character, she's no Harry Potter though. Sometimes it sounds like she is a boy.I give it 5 stars because I do love this book and the story is great.ETA: I was enamoured by a guy. It's the high rating. I fooled myself.
