  • Great Series

    This is the fourth time I purchased this book because I keep giving it away for others to read. I have read all of the Incarnations of Immortality at least 6 times...the first time back in 1990...before my daughter was born. She has now read the entire series more than that! To see that death is an office held by a person made me much less scared of death.

  • Love these Books

    I read this series years ago and purchased this set as a gift. I remember it was hard to get into it at first ... but was told to keep going. I did and completely enjoyed it. I had never read this genre of book before but was sad when the last book ended.
