Simple reading with a lot of heart. I read the book in a day and night because I couldn't put it down. Some truly beautiful words in the book and descriptions of places. I highly recommend

"He was a thing of flesh and blood, of life and death, not an Immanent Will. A tree drew strength from light, but it was not light itself. And life was a process of changing, but it was not change itself. That was what death was for."
