5 stars
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.
