"All good theory stands up to the test of practice." Freshly-risen from the underworld of his insecurities, Ronoah Genoveffa Elizzi-denna Pilanovani is halfway through his journey to the fabled Pilgrim State. But the world this side of the Iphigene Sea is not an easy one: violence and subterfuge litter the way forward, and something meaner stalks the edges of Ronoah's certainty, something that threatens to turn the very reason for his pilgrimage to dust. To survive, he will have to be clever and kind in equal measure. To ask for help from the acrobats and queens-to-be and foreigners' gods that cross his path. To confront that beguiling, bewildering companion he travels with, the one whose secrets are so vast and unforgivable. He will have to draw on every story he knows in order to make it to the Pilgrim State with his soft heart intact-and then make it home again. Mythic and multilayered, the final installment of the Heretic's Guide to Homecoming duology is a love letter to losing and regaining faith in the ways you move through the world.

It's been a few days since finishing this book, and thus finishing this story and I'm still feeling so full. The poeticism and word-wizardry is such a gift to read and the continuation of the story is beautiful.
This book made me laugh and cry and smile and reflect, not only on Ronoah and his friends and experiences, but on my own self. To be able to invest yourself so deeply into a book and its story and characters and to have that book prod back, lodging itself into your little brain folds to think on its philosophies and theories to apply in your own practices is a gift.
I already cannot wait to re-read
