“Can you be a a sorcerer without realizing it?”
“Oh yes. Some people walk around every day, bored with their lives, having no idea that there’s a world of wonder at their fingertips. And they’ll live out their days completely oblivious, and they’ll die without knowing how great they could have been.”
“That’s really sad.”
“Actually it’s quite amusing.”
“No, it’s not; it’s sad. How would you like it if you never discovered what you could do?”
“I wouldn’t know any better,” he answered, stopping beside her.

“You don’t even know if you’re capable of doing magic.”
“How do I find out? Is there a test or something?”
“Yes, we cut off your head. If it grows back, you can do magic.”
“You’re being funny again, aren’t you?”
“So glad you noticed.”
“So will you teach me?”
“I’m not a teacher. I’m a detective. I already have a career.”
“Oh, right. It’s just- I’d really like to learn, and you know it all.”
“Your flattery is subtle.”
“But it’s okay; if you don’t want to teach me, that’s okay. I suppose I could always ask China.”
Skullduggery looked at her. “China won’t teach you. She won’t teach you because there is nothing that she does that is not for her own gain. You mightn’t see it at first, you might think she’s actually being nice to you, but you can never trust her.”
“Okay then.”
“Okay. So we’re agreed?”
“We’re agreed. No trusting China.”
“Good. Glad we’ve got that sorted.”
“So will you teach me magic?”
He sighed. “Dealing with you is going to be a trial, isn’t it?”
“That’s what my teachers at school say.”
“This is going to be fun,” Skullduggery said dryly. “I just know it.”

It’s gonna suck when you get to the part where the UK is like three books ahead of the US and you either have to import them or wait.
But omg I love this series.

I’ve got the first two books out of the library, and I’m only partly done with the first one, but it’s fantastic so far!...
