Tindra reviewed Mort by Terry Pratchett (Discworld, #4)
Death gets angry
5 stars
Because of course the person Death would choose as an apprentice has a name that means... Death.
ANYWAY
I really don't know what to say beyond the usual "Pratchett is a brilliant satirist" and "this is both hilarious and super deep". Because it is those things.
Audiobook generally excellent, though the fact that Rincewind's speech patterns were markedly different than Color of Magic/Light Fantastic was a bit jarring (yes, different narrator, but the fact that the speech pattern wasn't even close was annoying). (I wonder if this is why there's consistently a separate narrator for Death through this whole series of audiobooks?)
