Book description
Nine Goblins Review
T. Kingfisher's Nine Goblins flips the fantasy script in the most delightful way, giving us a war story where the monsters are just trying to survive their own incompetence.
The Goblin War started somehow-nobody really remembers how-and now nine goblins find themselves stranded behind enemy lines after a disastrous encounter with an evil wizard. These aren't the fearsome creatures from propaganda posters. They're cowardly, lazy, and spectacularly bad at being villains, which makes them absolutely perfect protagonists.
Sergeant Nessilka faces an impossible task: keeping her bumbling troop alive long enough to find their way home. What unfolds is a journey through a forest filled with elves, trolls, and monsters-but also through the hilarious dynamics of a military unit that's more dysfunctional family than fighting force.
Kingfisher's narration brings these characters to vivid life, capturing both the absurdity of their situation and the genuine heart beneath their scaly exteriors. The goblins argue, scheme, and occasionally stumble into moments of unexpected heroism, making their misadventures both laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly touching.
This audiobook delivers exactly what fantasy fans crave: familiar tropes twisted into something fresh, characters who grow on you despite their flaws, and a story that proves even the most unlikely heroes can find their way home-with enough chaos and comedy along the way to keep you entertained from start to finish.
