Firstly I would like to thank Netgalley & Macmillan-Tor/Forge, Tor Books for the opportunity to receive a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. It is also my first T. J Klune book that I read and for sure not the last one.
I enjoyed the book more because on my mind while I was reading it, I had scenes from the movie "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Goldwin & Vicent Schiavelli.
I could see commence and difference ...more

Shelves: fantasy, mm

Tj is one of my favorite authors, i like his humor and style. Is it rambling, yes, is it filled with irreverent humor, also yes. Is it filled with a cast of misfit characters who work hard to make the main character see the error of his ways and grow in some meaningful way. Of course. I liked the story and it's take on death and death's journey. If you are looking for some serious, though provoking words on death that will rip your heart our and rebuild you, be sure to read Tj's Into This River ...more
