And of course, the slow burn romance of all time, Iäna Pel-Thenhior. The opera and the arts scene in Amalo is such an interesting contrast to Celehar's usual haunts, and I loved how Celehar continues to be drawn in while realizing he's playing with fire. But Iäna is so fiercely trying, and I have faith that these two crazy kids (read: middle aged men) can make it work.
The mysteries in this book were a little less compelling than in The Witness for the Dead, but the rich character work and the worldbuilding provide more than enough to sink your teeth into. I'm so excited for the third book, and I hope Addison continues to find compelling stories to tell in this world.

This sequel to Witness for the Dead is more Celehar solving mysteries, being sad, having friends help him and who want him to be happy, and Celehar refusing to get help. I love the side characters in here and the ending was excellent. My only desire is to see some forward progress on Celehar because he deserves it.
