The Golden Age of Death – Amber Benson

It’s been nearly 2 years since I last checked in on Amber Benson’s Calliope Reaper-Jones series, so it seemed like a good time to dive into The Golden Age of Death, the final installment of the series.  While fantasy is certainly not my favorite genre, I was on board for this series due to Benson, whose work as an actor I’ve admired.  While the last entry, How To Be Death, seemed to turn a page by mixing up the pace, this book was back to the tried and true formula of someone scheming to kill the newly installed grim reaper.

While I certainly enjoyed this series, otherwise I would have bailed a long time ago, I would be lying if I said they were easy for me to get through.  Even finishing up the last 120 pages of so took me well over 2 hours.  Benson has started a new series, about witches of some sort, but I’m not sure if I’ll follow her over.
