In Mort, Terry Pratchett takes one of his most compelling Discworld characters—Death himself—and hands him a problem: an eager but inept teenage apprentice. What follows is a delightfully sharp and inventive tale that blends high fantasy with absurd comedy, as Mort learns that meddling with fate is far trickier than it seems.
Pratchett’s humor is as sharp as ever, but beneath the playful satire lies a surprisingly thoughtful meditation on destiny, free will, and what it means to be human—even for those who technically aren’t. Witty, insightful, and effortlessly entertaining, Mort is Discworld at its finest and one of my all time favorites.
