Review of 'Soul Music (Discworld Novel)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Death has another middeath crisis and Susan, as the only unnatural heir, gets the scythe and part of the powers that come with the job. But she does not want cute guys to die, specially when they are introducing the new "music with rocks in" era to the Disc - not even the librarian is immune to the new rhythm!

I love the Death character and it gets more and more amusing as humanity keeps finding a way in. A true rebel of the Gods! It is a brilliant book as always, filled with rock mentions/nods that had me giggling every time I found one. The story takes some time to develop and the end is a bit weird, but each paragraph is a story in itself filled with vivid images of recurring gags and hilarious moments. I am not the biggest fan of the wizards, but they probably are the best part of this story.
