A fantastically-written book that explores mortality, loyalty, family, and love through a complex but ingenious story - I love it when all the clues come together and you finally understand the whole plotline! I loved all the different characters and the relationships between them, both romantic and platonic. And I loved the fact that Death itself is personified into a deeply flawed and highly relatable character. The book does have a pretty slow start as all the characters get introduced, but the ending is more than worth the wait.
