Their murder was accomplished through a terrorist act-an explosive device smuggled onto an airship that they boarded. The chain of events in The Goblin Emperor is set off by the assassination of the Emperor of the Ethuvarez and three of his sons. I had liked Thara Celehar, a secondary character in The Goblin Emperor, and was happy to have the opportunity to read more about him. So when I heard The Witness for the Dead, a second novel set in the Ethuvarez (the elven empire where The Goblin Emperor and The Witness for the Dead take place) was coming out, I jumped at the chance to review it, even knowing that Maya, the marvelous hero of The Goblin Emperor, would not be appearing in it. When the novel was nominated for a Hugo, I was thrilled when it lost, I felt disappointed. It was my favorite of all the books I read that year and I’ve read it three more times since. I am a huge fan of your 2014 steampunk fantasy novel The Goblin Emperor.
