Some of my favorite words in book note land are “triumphant conclusion.” I just love when someone sticks a landing. The Tomb of Dragons<\/em> is listed as the third in a trilogy. There’s room for more with these characters\/in this world, but this is also an ending<\/em> ending, a trilogy ending as well as a book ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thera Celahar came out of his previous run-in with dead forces battered and damaged. His very calling as a Witness for the Dead was shaken. Shaken–but not obliterated. He’s found ways to pursue the peripheries of his calling even without the core available to him. Helping a younger Witness find her way and sorting through a morass of paperwork aren’t the same as hearing the needs of the dead, but they make some positive difference in the world, at least. Until he’s kidnapped and pulled under a mountain. Because yeah, the title? It’s pretty literal. And the haunted dragon bones are only the beginning for Celahar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to ending both book and series in a highly satisfying way, this volume ties back rather more closely with The Goblin Emperor<\/em> than its predecessor. If you’ve been wistful for a glimpse of where it all started, this will very much satisfy. I was so glad to have it to read this week. The rest of you have to wait a few months, more, but I promise, it’ll be worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Review copy provided by the publisher.
