Didn't suck but, while I loved Blue In Green and These Savage Shores, I was disappointed and a bit bored by this.
Nice setting in Mumbai, and the colours were perfect but I didn't like the art. To be honest, the whole thing seemed pretty pointless. My three stars feels a tad generous.

The art in this book is beautiful! Especially the alternative covers. The concept is interesting - the god of death is sent to earth, to be mortal, because immortality is soon to exist and she will be useless. However, I felt hit over the head with the main message of the book, and I so despise being spoonfed things. I'm also not a big fan of books that try too hard to be funny, and this little book that would have been fine remaining tonally dark throughout, threw in too many attempts at a laugh to try and keep the book a little bit lighthearted.
There is the bones of a lot to love here, but while the art really shone, I think the writing fell a bit short. The graphic novel is super super short though, so even though I don't think it's amazing, it is worth a read if you're curious about it.
