![]() Her conversations with the Death of Rats and the raven are always engaging, with her as the straight man to their wisecracks. She’s a very logical person trying to deal with all the irrational and mythical elements of her grandfather’s world. It’s up to Susan and the wizards of Unseen University to find a way to contain all this madness.įor the most part, I liked the parts of this story that had to do with Susan, being her debut novel. ![]() Meanwhile, a trio of young and desperate musicians in Ankh-Morpork become the start of a wild new sensation–Music With Rocks In–thanks to a mystic guitar bought at a mysterious shop. Naturally, she’s resistant to the idea, but Grandfather has gone on holiday to forget all the troubles of being the cessation of life. Susan Sto Helit is a young woman attending a ladies’ school in Quirm who finds out that she has inherited her grandfather’s business: being the Grim Reaper. Not a bad story, just not one of the best. ![]() ![]() That said, Soul Music is a bit disappointing. So far, I’ve been a fan of such stories where Death is one of the main characters, usually having to do with him taking an interest in humanity and all the funny and sad things that come of it. On the whole, I love Terry Pratchett and his wonderfully-written Discworld novels. ![]()
