The Grief of Stones (The Cemeteries of Amalo, #2)
Katherine Addison
In The Grief of Stones, Katherine Addison returns to the world of The Goblin Emperor with a direct sequel to The Witness For The Dead... Celehar’s life as the Witness for the Dead of Amalo grows less isolated as his circle of friends grows larger. He has been given an apprentice to teach, and he has stumbled over a scandal of the city—the foundling girls. Orphans with no family to claim them and no funds to buy an apprenticeship. Foundling boys go to the Prelacies; foundling girls are sold into service, or worse. At once touching and shattering, Celehar’s witnessing for one of these girls will lead him into the depths of his own losses. The love of his friends will lead him out again.

0Despite the excellent narration, this one was paced a little slowly to be called a page turner. That is not to say it wasn't very much enjoyable - I really liked getting to know the protagonist more and watching him heal and engage with community and friends. As ever, the political, religious, social and cultural worldbuilding was unique and tangible. A thoroughly great read.
