every day i’m thrilled that the audiobook reader for WITNESS FOR THE DEAD took one look at Iäna Pel-Thenhior, went “that man… is a fruit”, and proceeded to give him the queeniest manner of speaking. it’s a perfect choice. no notes
A thing I love about The Witness for the Dead: I love how sincere and earnest Thara Celehar is.
I can enjoy a funny and snarky narrator very much, it’s entertaining, but seeing a character being so earnest, deep down to their core, feels refreshing in a very relaxing way. It feels like coming home: finally I speak the same language as the character. I can take his thoughts at face value (more, rather than less). He can of course still be wrong about himself or others, but he always means what he thinks.
As someone who’s pretty earnest myself I appreciate that very much in Thara.
“is he COURTING me?” thinks thara celehar in astonishment about the guy who brought him on a date to the family teashop in order to introduce him to his mother
