"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
Emperor 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 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
