It feels like a detective novel, except the detective is a priest who can commune with the dead. With that angle this book does get rather sorrowful. As someone who deals with depression, I saw a lot of that reflected in the main character, Thara Celehar. At times, when he was struggling, I found it quite heavy. It’s also a bit slow at times. However, it all wraps up in a very interesting way, but a bit fast for my liking.
“‘Tranquility in strength’ meant having the strength to keep one’s tranquility of mind, no matter what the world brought.”
