A review by ravenslanding
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
5.0
I dont know how to describe this book or why I love it so much.
Maia is intensely likable.
The language is beautiful and accessible even though I still couldn't tell you what the titles mean.
The world is real enough to touch.
The story is at once slow and deliberate while being engaging and exciting.
And of course we mee tThura Celahar.
I cannot recommend the audio book enough. The narrator does a phenomenal job. Especially in nailing how elves and goblins pronunciation differs in the same names. A tiny world building touch which is observed throughout though only pointed out to the read once a good chunk into the book. Well done, audio book production team.
