Lots of mystery

Another great read. For me, it spoke of how vital it is what we believe and trust in how satisfying, meaningful and content our lives are. I loved Helga's view on death; Harmony's ability to always speak the right words into the hard situations; Alex's compassionate heart, and Faraday's devotion to those he cares for. Many good lessons in the story, along side the secrets and mysteries. A really good ending. I enjoyed this book way more than I expected. Left me feeling good and satisfied with the whole experience.
