Summary

From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a novella of low fantasy and high mischief.

No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure.

But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece, despite a path filled with elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures…a human being.©2013 T Kingfisher

2.5 ⭐️ overall
Picked this up because of a book challenge. The start was pretty weird and I almost DNF’d it since it's just not my vibe, but somewhere around the middle it became more interesting, so I stuck with it to see where it would go.

It ended up better than it started, but it’s still not really my kind of book. The goblins were moderately funny, the story was just so-so, and I didn’t really connect with any of the characters.

I tried, so did the goblins
