But living with a rogue angel is not so easy; the pair find themselves drawn into mystery after mystery, from a man kidnapped by a vampire nest to Jack the Ripper's horrific murders.

And besides Doyle's nightmares and shapeshifting, there is the lingering problem of Crow's sense of belonging and the worry that he might Fall....

Critic reviews

"A new Katherine Addison book is a cause for celebration. Break out the champagne, this one's a treat!"

"Each book Addison writes is a highly-polished and gorgeously set gem. The Angel of Crows is no exception."

"With its subtle, intricate, fascinating worldbuilding and a hero who succeeds through empathy and patience rather than brawn, The Goblin Emperor is absolutely unique among recent fantasy novels, and it delighted me from beginning to end. I wish I could read a dozen more books set in the Elflands."

"Challenging, invigorating, and unique. If courtly intrigue is your wine of choice, The Goblin Emperor is the headiest vintage I've come across in years."

"I enjoyed The Goblin Emperor a great deal. I was sucked right into her world of goblins, elves, and airships, and was anxious to the very end to find out how Maia, the unwanted halfblood son of the Emperor, who finds himself unexpectedly on the throne, learns to navigate the intrigues and danger of the imperial court. An engrossing read!"

"Impressively elaborate worldbuilding underpins this lovely fantasy novel, but I couldn't put it down because of the heart-grippingly sympathetic main character."

"... remarkably compelling and fascinating"

"The Goblin Emperor is the best fantasy I've read in quite some time. It's certainly my favourite of the last great while, and though it's early days yet, I suspect it may be the best single novel I read this year."

Fun Sherlock take

It’s not a great epic with an overarching theme, but it’s a fun story with interesting characters.
