As a Witness for the Dead, Thara Celehar can speak to the recently departed: see the last thing they saw, know the last thought they had, experience the last thing they felt. It is his duty to use that ability to ascertain the intent of the dead and to find the killers of the murdered. Celehar’s time in the city of Amalo has brought him both friends and enemies—and no little notoriety. Now, when solving the murder of a marquise raises more questions than it answers, he finds himself exploring Amalo’s dark underside.

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.
