I like the "janitor of the post-apocalypse" series from this author so I was curious to read more from him. Jig is a goblin that has more brains and less sight than he is comfortable with, and his life is turned upside down when he crosses the path of two human prince's, a dwarf and an elf. This is a fun adventure in search of a treasure by a party that is not totally convinced it is a good idea.

Unlike other Graphic Audio adaptations, the accent of this narrator annoyed me to no end. I am not an English native so I am not sure why it irritated me so much.

Although I like the concecept of a supposedly little bad guy, coming through as a hero, it was just slow. I don't know why, it should have been funny, but maybe it was too obvious a set up for another book. Too many off details?
I finished it to know how it would end, but I am not eager to read any more of this series.

Listened this as a graphic audiobook and while O enjoyed it for the most part, the sound effect and so on. I had quite a difficult time getting into it Everytime I've stopped listening to it for some time. The voices fit very well for the characters,but can't say they were very relaxing to listen to. But as I got used to it each time I could barely stop listening to it and I really started to lime the little goblin. He just grew on me and at the end of it, I didn't want it to end.

I was unsure about this one to be honest, it was the story of a scrawny goblin after all. But I should not have feared, it was a Hines book after all.

This one was amusing, oh those silly humans ;) See Jig lives with the rest of the goblins where goblins live. And sometimes pesky humans aka adventures come into those caves looking for stuff, killing goblins and just being so darn annoying.

And that is what happens. A dwarf, a wizard, a prince and a thief comes looking for something and Jig have to help them. There is danger, adventure, treasure and one scared, yet brave goblin.

I need to read more Jig books. I can't wait to see what he does next.
