|video=|summary=''Maleficent Seven'' might be relatively short, but it is still classic Derek Landy: lots of humour, scintillating dialogue, and plenty of well-written action scenes. Recommended to all fans of the series. |cover=000753194X|aznuk=000753194X|aznus=0007500920

First off, ''The Maleficent Seven'', while being a spin-off that isn't part of the main [[Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy|Skulduggery Pleasant series]], is set after book 7 (''Kingdom of the Wicked'') so this review may contain spoilers for earlier books in the series. You have been warned.
Thank you to the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
If you're a fan of Skulduggery Pleasant, then you should definitely check out Eoin Colfer's highly entertaining Artemis Fowl series, if you haven't already. Colfer is another author who never writes without filling a generous quota of jokes per page, and [[Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer|The Lost Colony]] is among the best in the series. [[The Ring of Solomon (Bartimaeus) by Jonathan Stroud| The Ring of Solomon]] is a prequel to Jonathan Stroud's excellent Bartimaeus Trilogy, a fantasy series with plenty of humour and colourful characters that also comes highly recommended by The Bookbag.
