stepriot's review against another edition

4.0

The production is a work of art. I love full cast productions and I hope the success of this one encourages more. This series is almost too relentless for me. The misery and abuse isn't broken up enough with hope or wonder. About 2/3 I started to feel exhausted and a bit numb to it all. The first two books had several moments that were actually difficult to listen to.

I found Death to be an extraordinary and beautiful character and would have liked more. I found Morpheus himself interesting and compelling, for a while. His otherworldlyness fades as the stories go on though. I found that disappointing. It changes the tone of the stories. After a while it just felt like a list of mundane tragedies, but that might have been because of my fatigue with the constant misery.
