5.0

For a collection about death, this was quite a fun book! 

I would recommend sitting with your thoughts after reading the stories. It's quite realistic with the different stories around death, but I really loved it! 

My favorite story was definitely 'compassion is not just for mortals' 

But I definitely recommend this if you want a story exploring different kinds of death in a poetic way.
