One of the other things I did last week was re-read all of Katherine Addison's #book s in the Goblin Emperor world (Together called "The Chronicles of Osreth"). These are "Goblin Emperor," "Witness for the Dead," and "The Grief of Stones." I really really really like these books. They are more vibe than plot, but the main characters are so engaging and have such rich inner lives, and the world building is fantastic. The first centers an unlikely young emperor who is dropped head first into court politics. The second and third are intertwined murder mysteries solved by a queer depressed cleric who can hear the dead. It was great to read them one after another because the lead right into each other. Highly rec'd.
