Greta and the Goblin King by Chloe Jacobs
3.0
I think the premise of GRETA AND THE GOBLIN KING was interesting and it had some serious potential, but I didn’t connect with the book like I wanted to. I appreciated that the whole love interest concept was barely there and that Greta was a BAMF who had to learn to survive when she got dropped into this foreign world hostile to humans, but there was just something . . . missing. I don’t know. I can’t explain it.
I wasn’t feeling it from the very beginning. I liked Greta enough. I liked her stubbornness and her spunk and her willingness to survive and how she held certain people dear. Her antagonistic relationship with the Goblin King was interesting enough. The build up to the eclipse, where everything was about to go tits up, was suspenseful. It just didn’t . . . click.
I really started losing interest where she comes across other humans and turns into a Wendy to the Lost Boys. Just wasn’t feeling it. At least the book read quickly and I didn’t feel bogged down by it.
I don’t know what to say. It probably has a lot to do with my life at the moment. More stressors than normal and it takes quite a bit to grab my attention right now. GRETA AND THE GOBLIN KING was interesting. There really wasn’t anything inherently bad about the book. It just wasn’t for me at this point in time.
