The Witness for the Dead

The author does not disappoint. (I don't think she would even know how to disappoint me.) Addison does a very good job of crafting a story in a world I love, without making it a sequel to a story about a character I love even more, and drawing me in to this part of the world and this character as much as she did the first time round in “The Goblin Emperor.” Most impressive was the way she graciously refused to provide "fan service" at the end. If I had gotten the ending I really wanted -- at least a kiss with hopes of many more to come -- I would have felt cheated and cheapened. “Goblin Emperor” became my new favorite book as soon as I read it, and this one fits very happily with it.
