Plenty of expressive ears
4 stars
Thara Celehar is a Witness for the Dead, and has a few mysteries involving the dead to solve. Set in the world of the Goblin Emperor (where Celehar played a small part), this is a delightful expansion of the world, and retains the gentle sweetness previously established.
Celehar reminds me of Maia, shy, kind and dutiful. Amalo is vividly brought to life, as are its many inhabitants. I love the Goblin Emperor, and though this isn’t quite as delightful, it’s still very enjoyable. There are also lots, and lots of expressive ears!
