This series has always been one of my favourite comfort reads, even though admittedly, I haven't finished reading the whole series once yet! Skulduggery Pleasant makes for light reading even though there are some more heavier topics dealt with, such as loss, grief and understanding one's own identity.
Mostly I fall back in love with the characters every time I pick this up, I can't think of many other series where I feel all the characters are unique but also fit so well together in their respective social circles. Of course, you have to love a good time to save the world buddy dectective vibe to really enjoy these series. The humour given by the characters and their actions always feels on point and never exaggerated or overdone.
