I was quite disappointed with this book, which isn't because it was a bad quality but I was expecting something totally different so my expectations weren't met.
I truly thought it would be a story about Death sharing it's life story. Instead it's the story of a young woman Wolfie, who's had a tragic life, and slowly unravels into bipolarity? I think? The ending wasn't exactly clear, in my opinion.
The beginning was really good, but then it kept turning quite disappointing because of all the twists that weren't exciting at all.
In the end, the stories of miserable poeple dying in horrible circumstances told by Mrs Death didn't have any impact on the plot? I'm not sure the plot was even there beyond the first couple of chapters? The "poems" really weren't impressive.
All in all, it could have been a much better book if it had been better structured and if it had been promoted properly...
