A Fig for all the Devils | C.S. Fritz

Rating: ★★★★★

TL;DR: Short and Fun but full of Meaning.

Short summary: Sometimes you just pick something up because you're bored and it looks good and it winds up being something you really really liked.

This is A Fig for all the Devils.

I found the audiobook on Spotify randomly and needed something to listen to. I'm so glad I did.

This was a beautiful story about grieving and growing and figuring things out. It mixed horror and fantasy with humor which is not an easy thing to do.

Death was hilarious but also horrifying. And the farther you got into this, the more you fear them.

That being said, the ending is so lovely and sweet. I just deeply enjoyed this whole thing.

What I loved:

• The characterization of Death

• The exploration of grief and dealing with loss

• The audiobook is fabulous
