The First Fall - Seanan McGuire

This was such a sad story! Even the mice could not lighten the mood as they grief for the God of Early Arrivals and Earlier Departures...

After the earlier foreshadowing the bad thing has come. We rejoin Jonathan and Fran as they are burying Daniel, their son. This short story is very different from the others (which are usually quite light and funny), it is not an easy read. But I thought it was a strong story and I would certainly not skip it.
