And as for how long it'll be... I planned this to be 100,000 words, roughly the same length as Mortal Coil and Midnight. Instead, it's 5000 words longer than Bedlam, which makes it the third longest Skulduggery book. YOU'RE WELCOME.

And as a reward for all my hard work — tomorrow I go back to writing the Grimoire! The fun never ends!! ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY

@DerekLandy Thank you but I feel like this one's going to break my heart. We'll see.

@DerekLandy Congratulations!

@DerekLandy I've been scared about it (well, more scared than usual) since you told us about that violent fight scene but getting this book is one of the things I look forward to this year, damn we need it 🙏

@DerekLandy I'm so ready, shame I'm gonna have to wait another year for the paperback, but a hardback does always look good

@DerekLandy congrats

@DerekLandy CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 & thank you so much 💕
