Molly Molloy and the Angel of Death
Molly Molloy and the Angel of Death | Maria Vale
1 post | 1 read
Death needs a do-over. Azrael---grim reaper and devourer of worlds--has messed up. Instead of taking Molly Molloy's soul, he patted her on the back and saved her from choking on an atomic chicken wing. Now she can see him. Talk to him. Touch him. Say ‘no’ to him. And make him question the assumptions he has held for an eternity. Molly is sick of Death capsizing her life. He'd taken her parents, then her grandparents, then her first great love. Now, just as she was on the verge of getting her life together with a job that paid enough and a NYC apartment that didn't cost too much, Death interferes again in ways she could never have imagined. The Powers that Be want Azrael to fix his mistake but before he can, Death makes one more. He falls in love.

This was a bittersweet story, centring on the joy of the ordinary, the magic of change, and the way love can extend beyond boundaries. Molly is wise and knows too much for her years, while Death is impossibly naive and inexperienced, making an odd couple that brings each other exactly what they need. They emphasized the way that we hate change, and yet seek it out every time. Also, it made me cry, despite the end being inevitable, so a win there.
