Mort

Fourth in the Discworld series, the book follows Mort, Death's new apprentice, as he tries to change fate and keep a princess alive. The problem is that Reality isn't listening, so even though he stops her assassination, everything keeps existing as if she's died anyway. During all of this, Mort is trying to put up with Death's annoying adopted daughter, Ysabell.

This book is funny as crap! Any scenes with Death are great, so an entire book with him is awesome. He and Mort are two of my favorite characters in the Discworld series.

Favorite Quote: "The world is a funny old place in which, metaphorically speaking, one should never be so proud as to turn down an offer of a perfectly good hot meat pie."
