This is a good middle grade story that mixes a tale of grief and loss after war with a magical tale of spirits and healing. I liked Nona's character a lot, she is strong despite her loss and shows great courage when facing the soldier, a dark character made terrible by his own great loss. I felt the soldier was well developed and a slightly more complex villain than I expected. My favourite character was Castor, a wonderfully imagined creation. The stories resolution was both hopeful and convincing and I felt that the idea of stained glass holding magic made for a good tale.
