A review by 12rhys23
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
Did not finish book. Stopped at 48%.
Had to quit halfway. Got bored at page 217. Interested in the first chapters, but the pace turned into a slog. Put the book down for a couple days, and when I picked it back up I had forgotten who everyone was. The naming structure system is a burden and the main strike against the book. Methimar, Metimel, Sethius, Cethus, Cauis, etc. You need a print out to keep every one straight.
Slow pace
Deep characters (if you can re!ember who they are)
Likable main character
Not very steam punk or fantasy heavy (they're fantasy creatures, but honestly they could all have been humans. The world didn't speak for itself much)
For patient readers who like political maneuvering/dialogue
3 stars
