ArrGh! There are soooo many surprises in Mortal Coil! I tell ya! Most of them aren't particularly... um... nice surprises... I will not mention any at all because I don't want to spoil anything but I will say that someone... pretty awesome I suppose... gets killed by another person who is always with him/her. And something quite terrible happens to Tanith!! WHY DEREK? WHY?? There are some new people also. The 3 extra people off the Skulduggery Pleasant Battle Cards that you get on the Munchkin Army game on http://www.skulduggerypleasant.co.uk/ finally appear in Mortal Coil! Fantastic isn't it? More characters! It is much more hilarious than the other books too.. I thought... But, y'know. All of them are just soooo terrific!!

Cont. of Chapter 1 - Mortal Coil
"Is not progressing nearly as smoothly," Wreath admitted. "She doesn't seem to be at all interested in the history or the teachings of the Order. It's going to take a lot to open her mind to it."
"The skeleton has already poisoned her against us," Tenebrae said bitterly.
"I fear you may be right. But I still thing the effort is worth it."
"And I have yet to be convinced."
"Just because the girl is a fast learner," Quiver said, "does not mean she is the Death Bringer."
"Cleric Quiver speaks the trut," Tenebrae nodded.
Wreath did his best to look humble, keeping his comments to himself. He's been searching for their saviour, for the one who would save the world from itself, for most of his life. He knew full well the danger of false hope and blind alleys - he'd had his fair share of both. But Valkyrie Cain was different. He felt it. Valkyrie Cain was the one.
"She troubles me," Tenebrae said. "Does she have potential? Absolutely. With training and with study she could be the best of us. But the best of us still falls far short of the the Death Bringer should be."
"I''ll keep working with her," Wreath said. "In two years, maybe three, we'll have a better understanding off what she's capable of."
"Three years?" Tenebrae laughed. "A lot can happen, as we have seen, in a short space of time. Serpine. Vengeous. The Diablerie. Dare we risk being sidetracked by a mistake? While we are busy testing Miss Cain, another one of Mevolents's disciples might actually succeed in their insane goals and bring back the Faceless Ones for good. What if, as you yourself fear, Cleric Wreath, Lord Vile returns to punish us all? If that happens, our plans mean nothing. There will be no world to save."
"Then what does His Eminence suggest?" Wreath asked.
"We need to know if we are wasting our time with this one."
"A Sensitive," Craven nodded.
"We've tried this before," Wreath argued. "None of our psychics are able to tell us anything."
"Reading the future has never been a particular talent of the Necromancer Order," Tenebrae said. "Our Sensitives are somewhat lacking when it comes to fortune-telling. But there is another I keep hearing about. Finbar something..."
"Finbar Wrong," Wreath said. "But he knows Valkyrie personally. It would raise too many questions. Even if he didn't know her, I doubt he'd ever aid our cause. As I keep reminding you, nobody out there likes us."
"We're working to save them all!" Craven barked, and this time not even the High Priest paid him any attention.
"The psychic will help us," Tenebrae said, "and afterwards he will remember nothing about it. Cleric Wreath, I want you to take the Soul Catcher and release the Remnant we have trapped in it."
Wreath's face slackened. "Your Eminence, Remnants are highly dangerous..."
"Oh, I trust your ability to handle any situation," Tenebrae said with an airy wave of his hand. "Have it possess this Finbar person, and if he sees a future where Valkyrie Cain is the Death Bringer, and he sees her saving the world, then we can put all our energies into making sure she fulfils her potential. If he does not see this future, we forget about her, and our search sontinues."
"But using the Remnant..."
"Once the job is done, simply return it to the Soul Catcher. What could be easier?"
"The skeleton has already poisoned her against us," Tenebrae said bitterly.
"I fear you may be right. But I still thing the effort is worth it."
"And I have yet to be convinced."
"Just because the girl is a fast learner," Quiver said, "does not mean she is the Death Bringer."

Skulduggery Pleasant Mortal Coil - Chapter 1: Wreath's Task
1
Wreath's Task
"Cleric Wreath," Tenebrae said, nodding imperiously at him.
"Your Eminence," Wreath responded, bowing deeply. "To what do I owe the honour?"
"Why do you think we're here?" Craven said, almost sneered. "You're late with your report. Did you think the High Priest would forget? Do you think him a fool?"
"I do not think him a fool, no," Wreath answered calmly. "But as to the intelligence of the people that accompany him, I'm afraid I cannot say."
"An insult!" Craven screeched. "How dare you! How dare you use a derogatory tone in the presence of the High Priest!"
"Enough," Tenebrae sighed, "both of you. Your constant bickering tries my patience."
"My humblest apologies," Craven said immediately, bowing and closing his eyes, his lower lip trembling on the verge of tears. A magnificent performance, as usual.
"Yes," Wreath said. "Sorry about that."
"Despite Cleric Craven's overt dramatics," Tenebrae said, "he is quite correct to point out that you are late with your report. How is Valkyrie Cain progressing through her studies?"
"She's a fast learner," said Wreath. "As far as the practical side goes anyway. She's a natural at shadow casting, and every time I see her she's improved."
"And the philosophical aspect?" Quiver asked.

Mortal Coil Competition
If you haven't already heard, there is a competition running on http://www.skulduggerypleasant.co.uk/ . Any residents in the UK and Eire who are under the age of 18 and have got permission from parents if they are under 16 are eligible to enter this competition. The winning design for the ad will be used as the main inspiration for the Mortal Coil trailer. The winner will recieve an annual cinema pass for themselves and a friend BUT will also have their advertisement idea shown on the big screen! Awesome! But as I've already said, the competition is only suitable for people who live in the United Kingdom and Ireland. So, unfortunately, I can't enter because I live in Australia and people in America or somewhere else wouldn't be able to do it either. The winner will be contacted by the 17th of September [2010].
Look at the terms and conditions on the link provided [ http://www.skulduggerypleasant.co.uk/waterstones/ ].
(The terms and conditions for this comp. are surprisingly interesting... You know how you get all the boring ones where you won't even bother reading it? =D )
