Description: "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 "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 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. Unreservedly recommended." -Kirkus
