310C: Time and Death

I’m looking for a book series – one about a person as the figure of death, one about a person as the figure of time.. Maybe they were from a sci fi author?

    You might be thinking of Terry Pratchett; some of the novels in his Discworld series feature Death prominently:

    Mort (1987)
    Reaper Man (1991)
    Hogfather (1996)
    Thief of Time (2001)

    He crops up in others from time to time, but in these he’s the star of the show.

    I would have to second the Incantations of Immortality series. I have read all the others listed as well, but this is the only one that does it as a series.

    I’ll ‘third’ it. Piers Anthony, who wrote a huge number of series, but the one you want is the Incarnations of Immortality’. Amazon carries the books individually rather than in a set, and I have no idea why at least one seller (not Amazon) is asking over $400.00 for his/her/its book. Don’t fall for it, get the individual books which are reasonably priced, and take a look at the ‘available from these sellers’ for second hand books at even more reasonable prices.
