rynaereading 's review for:

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison

---

Quite simply one of the most delightful books I've read in a long time. It's a tightly constructed stand-alone fantasy, which I really appreciate since you don't find those often. A lot of things happen in this book, but they are political intrigue and conspiracy things, not sword fight things. The main character manages to be both kind and interesting, which is practically unheard of in fantasy. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could!
