The Tomb of Dragons

By: Katherine Addison

Narrated by: Liam Gerrard

In The Tomb of Dragons, Katherine Addison returns to the award-winning world of The Goblin Emperor, deftly wrapping up The Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy.

"The audiobook narrated by Liam Gerrard perfectly captures Celehar’s voice." —Buzzfeed on The Grief of Stones

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

Thara Celehar has lost his ability to speak with the dead. When that title of Witness for the Dead is gone, what defines him?

While his title may be gone, his duties are not. Celehar contends with a municipal cemetery with fifty years of secrets, the damage of a revethavar he’s terrified to remember, and a group of miners who are more than willing to trade Celehar’s life for a chance at what they feel they’re owed.

Celehar does not have to face these impossible tasks alone. Joining him are his mentee Velhiro Tomasaran, still finding her footing with the investigative nature of their job; Iäna Pel-Thenhior, his beloved opera director friend and avid supporter; Anora Chanavar, his stalwart friend and fellow prelate of Ulis; and the valiant guard captain Hanu Olgarezh.

Amidst the backdrop of a murder and a brewing political uprising, Celehar must seek justice for those who cannot find it themselves under a tense political system. The repercussions of his quest are never as simple they seem, and Celehar’s own life and happiness hang in the balance.

Brought it all together

It is a solid conclusion of the series, most of the lose ends got wrapped up. It was paced a bit different the the first two, and I think they were better, but still a good book and worth a credit!

Inconsistent Pronunciation With Previous Books

The only complaint I have is that the reader changed pronunciation of some words in the prior two books. Aside from that, the story and narrator were fantastic.

Pure comfort

Comfy in the manner of Hercule Poirot. The fantasy setting is rich with history and color, but requires little effort from the reader to recall or keep track. Just be swept along by the story and mystery, and don’t sweat it when you can’t keep track of the labyrinthine structure of the Untheilineise Court or the Ethuveraz.

Perfection!

I was nervous to read how the stories of Thara Celehar would conclude, especially after the events of The Grief of Stones, but this is an extremely satisfying finale. Addison continues to deliver unexpected adventure, new companions, and the background tension of political upheaval. It’s a brilliant book!

exactly what I expected, and that is comforting

trying to get all the names straight is a little challenging, but that's really the only complaint I have. The story is engaging, the pacing is good, and the performances on the right side of okay.
