Nine Goblins - Book Review (reread/repost)

 

Nine Goblins
by T. Kingfisher

What is it about:
When a party of goblin warriors find themselves trapped behind enemy lines, it'll take more than whining (and a bemused Elven veterinarian) to get them home again.

Nine Goblins is a novella of low...very low...fantasy.

What did I think of it:
This such a fun read!
It's silly, funny, and touching all in one.

The story switches viewpoints between the goblins and Sings-to-Trees, an Elven veterinarian. I loved the goblins and their view of the world, but I will confess I loved Sings-to-Trees even more. He's on the receiving end of a lot of trouble, still he keeps going and stays helpful.
The goblins get themselves in hot water as well, but they're tough and resourceful in a unique goblin way.

All in all this was a delight to read, and as promised when I read it last year: I got my trotters on the hardcover for this first of many rereads!

Why should you read it:
It's a super fun Fantasy read!
