The Tomb of Dragons

The Tomb of Dragons is another solid Thara Celehar.

When I first read The Witness for the Dead, I was disappointed, because it had such different energy than The Goblin Emperor.

I have really come to enjoy how the pacing is very smooth and gradual, while being ultimately relentless. Celehar is never hurried or frantic - he just applies steady pressure to all his problems until they eventually crumble.
