I enjoyed the 1st part of the book.  We are introduced to Fox, a mortal, who is the godson to Death.  There are other immortal characters such as a vampire, a thief, a ghost, a siren, etc.  I liked the humor in the interactions and the general story....about halfway through the book there is a plot device of a game that needs to be played against Death - the only rule is don't lose.  This is where the book goes sideways for me and I didn't really like the last half.  Only a slight recommend from me.
