Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett
4.25
adventurous dark funny hopeful lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

It's fun to revisit earlier Discworld entries to see how the characters and their author have -and haven't- changed. This books covers a lot of thoughts on mortality, life and death, and Death, but does not dip into being maudlin. As always, I appreciate when Pratchett uses themes of seasons and harvest to explore deeper truths. And the wizards weren't even too annoying in this one!
