New content in The Goblin Emperor universe will always be first on my list of things to read!
This novella follows Ulcetha, a disgraced scholar. All he wants is to clear his name, but when his friend dies in the wreck of the Wisdom of Choharo, he becomes embroiled in what turns out to be an archaeological treasure heist and murder mystery. Somehow, most things in TGE verse turn out to be a murder mystery.
Overall, I very much enjoyed this little story. It's satisfying and explores some new corners in this world, which I will be happy to revisit as many times as I'm allowed.
