Reading progress update: I've read 257 out of 363 pages.

Death Bringer (Skulduggery Pleasant) - Derek Landy

Am I the only one who thinks that by constantly treating her reflection like dirt (gah Valkyrie, stop it already) Valkyrie is basically setting it up to be Darquesse's body? I mean, assuming that Darquesse doesn't manage to take over Valkyrie's body, then there's the reflection just hanging out, being all quiet and vicious and secretive, waiting.

 

It all just seems especially stupid of them - Skulduggery, too - not to think about Valkyrie's weirdly sentient reflection........

 

And they got rid of Fletcher now? Wah? I was just starting to like the guy! If they were going to get rid of him, I'd have expected it at any time before now, when I still strongly disliked him - say, a book or two ago.

 

He probably won't stay gone, though. And I'll probably dislike him again when he comes back.......

 

(Oh, and Valkyrie, I believe I TOLD YOU NOT TO MENTION YOUR MOTHER TO THAT MUGGER GUY, DIDN'T I???)
