3.0

This story was completely character driven, and one of the reasons why it's just a 3-star read for me is that the female voices in the audiobook narration were quite similar and confused me in dialogues, which made it hard to follow the story at times. Otherwise, it's an interesting plot, where Death's godson goes on an adventure to find his gambling godfather with his creature-friends, a ghost, an angel, a devil, and a vampire, among other. There's a good amount of dialogue and banter, with a few fun jokes here and there. It wasn't a bad book, but the storytelling wasn't linear, and with the similar character voices it was a challenge to follow.
