The story was great, and the characters were compelling. I did have terrible keeping track of people and places though. Too many unfamiliar words. A glossary like there was in The Goblin Emperor would have helped

I loved this book. The only way one could really improve it would be to make it longer, develop things more, and give the audience more insight into the lore of the world. Which is to say I wanted more. I haven't read the Goblin Emperor yet, but now I feel I must. The language might slow down some readers at the beginning - lots and lots of unfamiliar words and naming conventions thrown at the reader with no explanation at the outset, and you have to be patient to figure out what's going on. But this ends up making the world feel more fleshed out.
