Katherine Addison: The Tomb of Dragons

Hi everyone

The Tomb of Dragons is the third book in The Cemeteries of Amalo series by Katherine Addison. Like the other books in the series, this one has a gorgeous cover.
I got my copy from Bol.

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; 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."
 

It's difficult to pinpoint what makes this series so comforting to read. The maincharacter is rather boring but he is also honest and always striving to be the best person he can be and to do the best he can. 
The names of places and people are hard to remember and keep apart because they are so different from ours. But Addison's worldbuilding is amazing. 

Happy reading!
