dharma_s's review against another edition
2.0
I am not going to lie, I am super disappointed in this book. I may have hyped this up too much in my head; I literally waited months for a copy at the library to become available, and I kept seeing all these glowing reviews about it. But as I read I could not get invested in the story or the mystery, and I honestly didn't care about the ending. But one of the main pulls of this book for me was the inclusion of Death as a character; I thought that it would make for fascinating character relationships. How wrong I was. I just wasn't able to see Death as anything other than every other YA male character (and a boring one at that). I had not connection to Signa and the other characters were almost like afterthoughts.

Overall good story and unique ideas. However I felt there was little chemistry between the protagonist and love interest, and had some gripes with the writing.

2,75⭐️ hacía tiempo que no tardaba tanto en leer un libro
Pensaba que le daría menos nota pero el final me ha gustado bastante más que el inicio. Se me ha hecho una lectura muy lenta. La ambientación me aburría y el misterio del asesinato y los envenenamientos tampoco me interesaban. A mi lo que me llamaba la atención eran Signa y Muerte y solo quería saber de ellos!!
Me encantan, a pesar de que la trama de misterio queda cerrada, la de romance no. Y tengo ganas de ver a donde va a parar en los próximos dos libros👀
Repito, la trama que sigue el asesinato y el envenenamiento no me interesaba mucho, la resolucion tampoco me ha encantado.
Si algo me ha hecho seguir leyendo han sido los protagonistas. Muerte me intriga demasiado. Y Signa no me entusiasma pero espero ver más de ella. Con quien he empatizado contra todo pronóstico ha sido con Elijah y Lilliane. Al resto de personajes verdaderamente tampoco los voy a echar de menos.
Le doy un 2,75 porque la premisa y la idea de Signa y Muerte tiene su aquel y porque el final me ha dejado con curiosidad de ver más. Las últimas 150 páginas se me han hecho llevaderas pero el resto del libro me ha costado.

I think, everyone who liked this book has a Daddy issue 😅
Anyway, I started this book as audio the last two weeks of school because I needed something not that complicated to listen to while correcting papers
To tell you the jump scare I had everytime Signa (via narrator) shouts or screams or "said with anger" was a true dose wakeup
Better than caffeine 😴 🫨🤯
Now let me get this straight
Death, the Reaper of souls, the walker of night, the shadow king, takes souls but does not know who murdered them and needs a 19 year old to solve the murder mystery and restore balance!!!
Sounds legit 🤣🤣🤣
Well, one book was enough
