Celehar's life as the Witness for the Dead of Amalo grows less isolated as his circle of friends grows larger.

At once touching and shattering, Celehar's witnessing for one of these girls will lead him into the depths of his own losses. The love of his friends will lead him out again.

A very satisfying read. The sort of book that leaves you feeling you spent your time in its presence well.
Addison is really great. This is a direct follow-up to the last book, Witness For The Dead, with the same protagonist. I liked this more than that one, but not as much as The Goblin Emperor. I think part of why I liked it more than Witness is that I had a better idea of what I was getting into, whereas I thought Witness would be closer than it was to Goblin Emperor. The story doesn't have a lot of twists and turns, though, it's pretty straightforward.
