The Lost Apothecary

3.5 rounded up to a 4

Great bones, loved the karmic angle, being largely introspective for character scenes paired really well with the content to set the tone, but the story did feel a bit tedious at times dragging on with some internal thoughts but then not letting pivotal moments breathe and make an emotional impression on me. Enjoyable enough to recommend to friends, but not so much that I will read it again.
