In The Grief of Stones, Katherine Addison returns to the world of The Goblin Emperor with a direct sequel to The Witness For The Dead...

Celehar’s life as the Witness for the Dead of Amalo grows less isolated as his circle of friends grows larger. He has been given an apprentice to teach, and he has stumbled over a scandal of the city—the foundling girls. Orphans with no family to claim them and no funds to buy an apprenticeship. Foundling boys go to the Prelacies; foundling girls are sold into service, or worse.

At once touching and shattering, Celehar’s witnessing for one of these girls will lead him into the depths of his own losses. The love of his friends will lead him out again.

Darker, but still sweet

Celehar gains an apprentice, strengthens his… friendship(?) with a certain opera lover, and continues solving mysteries, both big and small.

Another visit to the city of Amalo. Though this is a darker book than both its prequel, The Witness for the Dead and The Goblin Emperor, The Grief of Stones remains thoroughly saturated with good people basically being kind to each other. I find it a valuable thing to read about these days.

Also, still plenty of emotive ears, and sweet goblins.
