Tak! quoted Luminous by Silvia Park
When it was still active and nimble, it was a house of horrors from whose impenetrable womb wave after wave of bladed robots would emerge, whipping through the air, keen to slice and beep and blow.

Content warning orb of cairado spoilers
It feels almost novel that the obvious suspect turned out to be the culprit, given the current fascination with twists and misdirection - at the end, I was sure it would turn out to be the sister, because Trenevar was too easy. But of course the story is more about Ulcetha's journey, and the result of the trial is almost incidental to that.

The Orb of Cairado is yet another detective story set in the Goblin Emperor universe. It follows Ulcetha, a disgraced scholar whose best friend has just died in the same airship crash that starts off The Goblin Emperor.
The writing is typical of the series, although it's interesting to have a protagonist who's a bit more venal and self-serving than Maia and Celehar.
I wouldn't mind more Ulcetha stories, although I'm not sure how much more adventure lies in his future.

Trenevar swallowed hard and said, “He certainly didn’t stick that knife in his own back.”

Content warning the navigating fox plot discussion / spoilers
I respect that so many things were left ambiguous: Quintus's origin, what's happening with the Empress, how did Quintus and Cynthia's crew come to their understanding, etc. - but maybe some of them could have been resolved? just one?

Whew, the ending felt so sudden I think I hurt something.
The Navigating Fox is like a thousand-page fantasy epic crammed into 150 pages. It's super well written, and the setting is great and I want more, particularly the Northern Membership - although I could stand to go a few days without reading the word "knowledgeable". Now give me the thousand-page edition. 😀

She practiced what to say to the driver in her head. *Thank you for the ride. You were right, it would have been a long walk.* That sounded pretty good. That was a normal thing somebody would say, right?
