The Goblin Emperor

Stunning book! Why not 5 stars then? Mostly because the words, titles and names are so difficult to understand and remember. There is a glossary at the back but this is not easy to use in an ebook.

I have found that I love character based books without complex (or even any) significant plot. This is slow but beautiful and the character development is lovely. Not quite cozy fiction but not far off it. I heard about this on a podcast and was sceptical but went for it. Others have claimed this as their best book of the year and it might well come close for me too.
