At the beginning of every English period, we spend 10-30 minutes silently reading a book.
For the last two period, I have been reading the 10th book in the "Skulduggery Pleasant" series, "Resurrection."
The premise of the series is that Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are partners in an investigation agency, (named "The Sanctuary",) based in a world where sorcerers and magic live secretly, side-by-side with humanity. After 5 years of partnership, Valkyrie takes a long, multi-year break from the investigative business, thinking about quitting for good. Fortunately, Skulduggery convinces Valkyrie to re-join the agency so that the two can save the world, but Valkyrie will only stay for 48 hours.
The "Anti-Sanctuary" is an up-and-coming organisation that poses a large threat to the existence of sorcerers, as their plan is to start a war between mortals and magic, annihilating one of the races and sending them to extinction. After a fight between Skulduggery and an unnamed masked figure left Skulduggery hospitalized, Valkyrie has to continue the investigation alone, questioning her morals and wondering what she will do after the 48 hours is up.
I can't wait to see what happens next.

It seems like this book will have twists and turns throughout it. I learnt that Valkyrie is a female and now I am wondering what morals she is questioning herself on. Is she against violence? Why is she only prepared to give 48 hours of her life to this investigation? Is she a witch?
