I dont know why, but I could just listen to the narrator read the names in this world for days.

Celehar is such an interesting person. I love the multiple mysteries and the compassion with which Celehar conducts his life.

Solid technically-a-sequel to The Goblin Emperor. Didn't hit me quite as right as that one, but I enjoyed it a lot. Same world, not completely separate cast, but total change of focus. Ending is a bit abrupt and I'd have liked some more of the politics.
