Mort by Terry Pratchett
4.0
3.5 rounded up to 4, I'm continuing to unintentionally read [a:Terry Prachett|31982175|Terry Prachett|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s Discworld novels in publication order (much to my husband and the fandom's chagrin, as it sounds like everyone else thinks you should pick a line and go forth, like [b:Guards! Guards!|64216|Guards! Guards! (Discworld, #8; City Watch, #1)|Terry Pratchett|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1431127356l/64216._SY75_.jpg|1128601] and the Night Watch). Still, this is useful because I've seen the tv movie for [b:Hogfather|34532|Hogfather (Discworld, #20; Death, #4)|Terry Pratchett|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1416342611l/34532._SY75_.jpg|583655] so I know Susan exists, but was puzzled over her last name until this one (and still wasn't quite sure who her parents were until the end).
This is also the second book for Biere Library's Storytime book club but I finished it first because I started it first, whoops (including my audiobook tag because I read the first quarter on audio but finished on mass market paperback). Our theme for April/May 2024 is death, so a book about Death seeking an apprentice seems fitting! Death learns a little bit about humanity, Mort (the titular apprentice) learns about the fabric of reality, and I am once again reminded Terry Prachett does not do chapters.
