Enjoyed this and it was a good conclusion to the series :) I did enjoy the first few books in the series more personally but glad I have the whole series and finished it up

In this installment in the Singing Hills Cycle, we explore grief, platonic love and devotion, and memory. Chih has returned to the abbey to discover their mentor has died, and that their warrior granddaughters have arrived with their mammoths (!) to claim the body. Chih and their fellow clerics learn more about memory and friendship from the neixin, and we learn more about Almost Brilliant and their lineage. This was such a moving reflection on grief, and is one of my favorites in the cycle so far.
