Mort by Terry Pratchett (288 pages)
Genre: Fantasy, Satire, Comedy

Summary:
When Death takes on an apprentice, things are bound to get… complicated. Mort follows a bumbling young man who becomes Death’s assistant—learning the ropes of the afterlife, swinging a scythe, and discovering that meddling with fate can get messy. It’s witty, sharp, and surprisingly heartfelt, blending Pratchett’s trademark humor with reflections on destiny, duty, and what it means to live (or die) well.
