A nice return to the novella format. A little melancholy, given the subject matter. But it's nice to see Pen so settled and mature. Still wish we got more Nikos and she actually got to so stuff again.

As Penric's family grows, his concerns change and this book definitely reflects that while continuing to deliver an intriguing mystery mixed with the heart and mindfulness we always get from LMB characters.
