"This trilogy is as close to perfect as books can get. . . . Magnificent."--T. Kingfisher, author of What Moves the Dead

Katherine Addison returns to the glittering world she created for her beloved novel, The Goblin Emperor, with book one of the Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy

Locus Award Finalist and
Mythopoeic Award Finalist!

When the young half-goblin emperor Maia sought to learn who had set the bombs that killed his father and half-brothers, he turned to an obscure resident of his father's Court, a Prelate of Ulis and a Witness for the Dead. Thara Celehar found the truth, though it did him no good to discover it. He lost his place as a retainer of his cousin the former Empress, and made far too many enemies among the many factions vying for power in the new Court. The favor of the Emperor is a dangerous coin.

Now Celehar lives in the city of Amalo, far from the Court though not exactly in exile. He has not escaped from politics, but his position gives him the ability to serve the common people of the city, which is his preference. He lives modestly, but his decency and fundamental honesty will not permit him to live quietly. As a Witness for the Dead, he can, sometimes, speak to the recently dead: see the last thing they saw, know the last thought they had, experience the last thing they felt. It is his duty use that ability to resolve disputes, to ascertain the intent of the dead, to find the killers of the murdered.

Celehar's skills now lead him out of the quiet and into a morass of treachery, murder, and injustice. No matter his own background with the imperial house, Celehar will stand with the commoners, and possibly find a light in the darkness.

Katherine Addison has created a fantastic world for these books - wide and deep and true.

These shelves are perfect for organizing my classroom library. The cubes are a little smaller than I expected, so they don’t fit larger picture books well. I was able to make it work by using bins inside the cubes and slanting the bigger books, but just know it’s best for regular-sized books. Since they’re a bit shorter, I stacked two together and it gave me the height I needed. Overall, they look great, were easy to set up, and hold a lot of books in an organized way. My students can easily find what they need, and I really like the clean, simple style.

I needed a cheap little bookshelf for this small play area. The shelf was relatively easy to assemble by myself, and it's sturdy enough to stand on carpeted flooring. I didn't bother installing the safety wall mount because I live in a rental and I can't screw things into the walls. The bookshelf is too small for standard storage cubes, so I purchased a couple of 9-inch cubes from the Dollar Tree and they fit just fine. I might rearrange the contents later.

Okay small bookshelf
Color: White, Size: 9.3 D x 19.5 W x 41.8 H in
Glad I got this on a sale for our nursery. I don’t expect it to be that durable but it will be great for kid books and toys. Instructions are pictures only and a little overwhelming with all the lines, basically alternate shelves on either side from the middle and you’ll be fine and make sure your painted edges all face the same way. Quality isn’t the best as it split when screwing in and it wasn’t even in all the way, we were being careful but we flipped that part out of sight. The back is a flimsy board you nail in, wish it was another piece of particle board like the shelves to add stability. At least it has an anti tip strap but I’d get a better quality anti tip strap anyways. Upon assembly we were missing screws. Didn’t think we would need to count so many to make sure but I didn’t want to repack and return, luckily we have extra screws around the house. Pros: good for kids room, came with anti tip strap, came with screw stickers to cover, simple build Cons: could be better quality for (full) price, back flimsy board, missing screws, instructions could be better, not enough screw stickers to cover even just the outside… Overall an okay small bookshelf.
