The MOST transformational book.

Skulduggery Pleasant. This is one of my favorite books I have ever read. What makes it so special to me is not only the incredible writing, but the fact that the author makes the character relatable no matter your gender, age, etc. Valkyrie Cain, a.k.a. Stephanie Edgley, is a teenage girl that struggles to hide her adventurous life from her mundane one. She also lives in a universe where the worlds seems close to ending every day. As a fan of Lord of the Rings and Batman, this book showed that all epics don't need to have rugged male characters, some can have teenage girls. As a boy I typically stick to male protagonists simply because I can relate to them and their struggles more, but this book made me change my mind.
