I love the author, I'm glad the audiobook was read by her. Her storytelling makes this well worth the read.

Always interesting and informative on death practices, though I felt we didn't actually get very far around the world as far as variety of cultures.

I was not appreciative of the description level used for the sacrifice of several animals- especially the one that was not struck down right away. I wish it would have been a 'told' rather than a 'shown' event. Or omitted entirely. I can sit with death discomfort. I cannot sit with cruelty.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Animal death, Child death, Death, Death of parent

Moderate: Animal cruelty, Gore, Suicide, Grief

Minor: Miscarriage, Cannibalism, Abortion

There is a scene where an animal is ritualistically sacrificed but the first slash is not deep enough and the poor thing freaks out until it is brought down.
