In Skulduggery Pleasant we have characters that, though visibly strange, are relatable. Skulduggery Pleasant is a character that readers would root for because of his ability to be a hero during multiple instances.
Skulduggery Pleasant has a linear plot that has smooth transitions between the elements.
