"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"-- Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

not as good as her others submitted by apknapp on August 12, 2022, 10:36am This felt flatter than her other books, more just a litany of things that happened, less character development. Maybe just because the main POV character was already well established in the previous book?

Unemotional submitted by mowjac on June 15, 2023, 8:49am Good plotting and excellent world-building kept me reading this, but the characters absence of emotion made me feel that I was going with them through their routine of life rather than momentous events. Which meant the ending, which may have been intended to be profound, had insufficient buildup and investment. If you are feeling depression I would stay away from this one.
