Review Summary
All Imp Y Celyn ever wanted was to be the greatest musician in the world, and Music With Rocks In is doing its best to make sure that happens. But Susan, granddaughter of Death himself, knows that the Discworld isn't ready for music that's almost alive, and that Imp's life is nearing the final chorus. What's worse, Death has gone missing (he can't remember how to forget), leaving Susan to pick up his slack and take up his scythe. Can Susan come to terms with being an anthropomorphic personification in time to save Imp from a fate worse than disco?
C. Mitchell, Resident Scholar
