A review by booklover160
The Goblin King by Shona Husk
3.0
So here's the thing; I have a weird obsession with goblins?????? idk but I love them as like antiheroes.
Buuuut this book was just... bizarre? The concepts are interesting but not fleshed out entirely. The pacing was super off. I wasn't introduced to anything in the start so it felt like the second book in a series (I seriously had to double check I wasn't going out of order.) I did like the book, it was a story that I enjoyed and finished and am considering the next book (I heard its better anyway).
The characters I did like. I didn't love them, I liked them. I didn't learn enough about them in this one book. I felt like the relationship was also super fast and not very developed. As for the piece of shit Steve, he can choke on a dick for all I care and Husk did an excellent job of making me hate him.
Anyway, if you're going into this book as a one-off, it's not satisfying. But I think the trilogy will turn into something pretty good.
