2021 book 119

 Katherine Addison's The Witness for the Dead

So this sequel to The Goblin Emperor focuses on one of the secondary characters from that book, the titular Witness, who’s now assigned to do his duties in another city. His duties mainly involve solving MURDERS! The primary one involves the death of a young opera singer, but there are other crimes along the way. Still, this is not really a /mystery/ per se, more the story of a guy living his life with a hard calling and maybe meeting a new crush. Lots of great characters in this one, and fascinating plots, although perhaps not AS satisfying as its predecessor. A/A-.
