Such a captivating story! The charaters are very well fleshed out, you're either rooting for some and love to hate a select number of characters. The universe, though at first intimidating with its foreign words/names, is explored thoroughly that you want to know more about it. It was such a hard book to put down I ended up finishing The Goblin Emperor in just 2 days! I'm looking forward to reading more of Katherine Addison's other books 📚
