I must admit to dissatisfaction with Neil Gaiman’s Death: The Time of Your Life.
Probably an emotional reaction, rather than a logical one. Emotionally, I feel as if there wasn’t anything to support the radical change in Foxglove’s heart; but when I read it, it all makes sense. I also felt that there wasn’t a good reason for Death to make a deal with Hazel. And noble Boris – that seemed pretty trite.
But I re-read it again this evening, and it all seemed to click into place, emotionally and logically. So it must have been because I was reading it at 3 in the morning this morning, during yet another bout of insomnia. Go figure.
