I adored the concept and development of this novella so so much. It is very sad and dark, which is the given with THAT premise (wow). I love books about characters that are Death or represent Death in any form and this one was definitely added to that collection. Also IT HAS A RED FOX IN IT (sorry, your story has a fox and you win me over). The journey, the growth of the character, the political issues it tackles and how it is handled at the end. It was, without a doubt, a treat of a novella.
