The Witness for the Dead 3 1/2 stars (Fall Flurries)

Set in the world of The Goblin Emperor, with a main character coming from that book. We follow a Prelate of Ulis, Thara Celehar, in his new posting as Witness for the Dead. The story involves a few mysteries to solve and while Thara wets his feet in this new city. Not everyone welcomes a Witness in their life and Thara must manage the politics as well his duties.

Like this first one, I found this one a bit cumbersome with the long unpronounceable names. Also although the stories within tied into Thara's profession it felt more like short stories mushed together for me.

No doubt Addison can write a good tale, just questioning if she is the writer for me.
