colophon reviewed The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison
A standalone novel in the fantastic world of Katherine Addison's award-winning The Goblin Emperor.
When …
An ok fantasy/mystery.
3 stars
Addison does a wonderful job of world building. The slice of life moments in particular are great and Pel-Thenhior, the goblin director/composer is wonderful. Unfortunately the book has far too many subplots to give any of them the attention they deserve. There were also weird pacing issues and characters seem to do things so that reveals happen at the right time rather than for any organic or logical reason.
