A review by lady_mel
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison

3.0

I wasn't sure how to rate this book. It's a nice book, and I really liked Maia's character, but, courtly intrigue is not my cup of tea.

The book follows Maia, a despised half-elf, half-goblin, fourth son of the Emporer of the Elflands. Maia was raised far from court, and had received no training or education of court life at all.

Due to a tragic accident that caused the deaths of Maia's father and older brothers, he, at age 18, finds himself emporer.

Maia is a very likeable character, and I truly felt sorry for his loneliness as he tries to make his way as emporer.
