Description: "This trilogy is as close to perfect as books can get. . . . Magnificent. . . . I come back to these books over and over again and visit the cemeteries of Amalo like an old friend. These books have been a bright thread in dark times. I could not love them more."--T. Kingfisher, author of What Moves the Dead "I''ve been wanting to return to the world of The Goblin Emperor from the moment I finished that book, and The Witness For the Dead does not disappoint. At once intimate and literally operatic, it''s everything I love about Katherine Addison''s writing, in ways I didn''t know to expect. I loved it." -- John Scalzi "I enjoyed the book so very much. It was really exactly the sort of thing I needed to read." -- Ann Leckie "The follow-up to the acclaimed The Goblin Empero r brings back a favorite character and expands the elaborate world Addison has created. Fans of the first book--and new readers--will find this novel delightful and immersive" -- Library Journal "Kazuo Ishiguro-an style."-- New York Times "Left me with feelings of warmth and hope for humanity." -- Margaret Rogerson, New York Times bestselling author of Sorcery of Thorns "Is there anything greater than discovering a genius in our midst?... I adored The Goblin Emperor , and Witness for the Dead --also set amongst the elves, airmen, goblins, and ghouls of that world--packs another lightning-fisted literary wallop...It rocks all my hot spots. Addison lavishes her ardent readers with adventure, new friendships, invisible enemies, and rewards us with her uncommon depths, subtleties, and kindnesses." -- C.S.E. Cooney "It is impossible for me to overstate how much I enjoy the novels of Katherine Addison set in the world of The Goblin Emperor .... The sense of being in the hands of a master, the breadth and depth of world, the unflinching eye for human nature paired with a deep well of compassion and a lingering sense of the numinous."-- Locus Praise for The Goblin Emperor "The only thing wrong with The Goblin Emperor was that it was, for a long time, a stand-alone. But now there''s a sequel, The Witness for the Dead -- so if you love the world Katherine Addison has created, you''ve got a way back to it."--NPR, Best SFF of the Past Decade feature "Striking."-- The New York Times "A remarkably hopeful story of a single decent person doing his best in a difficult situation." - io9 "Ambitious and meticulously executed worldbuilding brings an animated dazzle to this exceptional assemblage of character studies and complex encounter." - Publishers Weekly "A spellbinding and genuinely affecting drama.
