This series remains interesting, if not a little safe. The two characters play well off each other and I love that each chapter is basically it's own story. The reason I believe this is a good idea is because the structure. Life has many stories, just as many as death, and we need that to show in a broad way. So to get one sad story about two lovers about to kill each other to another about a boy losing his mother really does well to show the whole spectrum of death.

I just wish it had a little more though. They're fun reads, a little sad, but never leave a huge impact. I enjoy myself reading, but I doubt I'll remember much a month from now. For now it's a enjoyable series that still hasn't hit it's stride.
