Possibly my least favorite of her books ( )

I’m afraid The End of the Day fell into the less good category for me. The writing as ever is good,and there are some lovely vignettes, but I did not quite gel with the central plot concept: Charlie, the protagonist, has been recruited to be the harbinger of Death, who together with the other three Horsemen of the Apocalypse is active in today’s world; bad guys are trying to interfere with Death, and there’s some incidental observations on US politics that didn’t really come together for me. Still, liking four out of six books by her is not bad and I’ll still be looking to buy more. ( )

The first, and only, book of hers that I didn't really like. Not a bad read, but I had trouble finishing it. ( )

He is the Harbinger of Death, he who comes before. Sometimes as a warning, sometimes as a courtesy. Oh and his name is Charlie.

The End of the Day by Claire North will probably end up as my book of the year for 2021. It's certainly not going to be the case for everyone though as this is not a plot driven story but more just getting to know a character. It is at times funny, sad, uplifting and doom-laden often all of these within the space of a few paragraphs. Probably veers towards the darker end of the spectrum though so be warned if you feel intrigued enough to pick this one up. ( )

My first DNF of 2020, but because I couldn't finish it, no rating. Not sure what's wrong with it, but I think it's the completely blase reaction everyone has to the Harbinger of Death. There's no wow here whatsoever.

It's just kind of...there.

Not my cup of tea.
