Glad to have finally finished the series, even if this was not necessarily a mandatory entry to read. I was impressed by how the author managed to evoke strong such strong emotion in the writing with the smaller amount of pages, and I found it to be a really nice return to the world of these books.

This novella does feature a character from Rowland's earlier novels, but you don’t need to know (or remember) anything about him to get what’s going on here. It’s about a young man in a tiny village on a cliff who longs to see the wider world but is too scared of heights to cross the bridge across the ravine. But when a traveling storyteller comes to town, he starts to find the impetus to make a change. There is a really interesting god/spirit thing here, and my only complaint is that the story stops right when I wanted more. Hoping these characters will pop back up in other Rowland works. A-/B+.
