The youngest, half-goblin son of the Emperor has lived his entire life in exile, distant from the Imperial Court and the deadly intrigue that suffuses it. But when his father and three sons in line for the throne are killed in an 'accident,' he has no choice but to take his place as the only surviving rightful heir. Entirely unschooled in the art of court politics, he has no friends, no advisors, and the sure knowledge that whoever assassinated his father and brothers could make an attempt on his life at any moment. Surrounded by sycophants eager to curry favor with the nav?e new emperor and overwhelmed by the burdens of his new life, he can trust nobody. Amid the swirl of plots to depose him, offers of arranged marriages, and the specter of the unknown conspirators who lurk in the shadows, he must quickly adjust to life as the Goblin Emperor. All the while, he is alone, and trying to find even a single friend . . . and hoping for the possibility of romance, yet also vigilant against the unseen enemies that threaten him, lest he lose his throne--or his life.… (lisätietoja)

3-1/2 stars. I really liked this book, and would have given it four, but the last part of the book felt a little rushed, with a bunch of storylines wrapping up positively, when there were so many conflicts throughout the story. Overall an enjoyable read, and I'll definitely be getting the next one. ( )

A reread for my book club ;)

...and what a delightful one it was! The book hit me much harder emotionally than the first time – then I was busy following the plot, figuring out the world-building and the details (the names, the names!). This time, I was there for each emotional turmoil, each trauma, each unexpected kindness and moment of happiness.

One of my favourite tropes in books is characters that are out of their depth and must develop and grow with the challenge (is that because I love learning new things myself? ;) ). And don’t you just love Maia all at once? He has been neglected, unloved, abused since he was eight. He also has pride, dignity, curiosity, kindness, honour, the desire to do the right thing. It’s just so incredibly nice to follow Maia’ journey, watch how he treats other people, grows with each conversation, discovers things he is good at, builds relationships and friendships.

“… you must try living for ten years with a man who hates you and whom you hate, and see what is does to sharpen your wits.”

“But he did not forget, and told himself he would not forget, that it was possible for people to be kind without ulterior motive, that sometimes bargaining was not necessary.”

I also think that Csethiro Ceredin is awesome! Somehow, there was less of her in the book than I remembered. This is probably because she makes sure to steal every scene she is in. I would dearly love to have a novella with her POV – preferably involving a duel with somebody who’s been mean to Maia. (Pretty please?) Isn’t Csevet (who suddenly becomes the emperor’ secretary) Cliopher’s distant cousin, by the way? (I am thinking about The Hands of the Emperor, of course.) I am convinced that he is. His POV novella would not be unwelcome either (hint, hint, nudge, nudge).

It was interesting to read about Thara Celehar again, knowing what I know from “his” novels in the series. It was a strange mixture of heartbreak and delight.
“ ‘Mer Celehar’s notions of obedience are most individual,’ Maia said wryly.”

I am so reluctant to leave this universe now… It’s nice to know I can reread Thara Celehar’s books too :) ( )

The best kind of fantasy--there's a character with fears and hopes that resonate with all of us muggles. Terrific story telling. I'm hoping there will be a sequel because I don't want the bridge-building to stop. ( )

After an airship accident, an unloved exiled prince suddenly ascends to rule a fantasy empire. The protagonist isn't heroic or particularly good at anything and is way out of his depth as he gets dropped into the Imperial court. Yet I became invested with his story as he slowly makes friends and muddles through political decisions. He is not a very good courtier but he shows a lot of 'humanity' (if that word can be used to describe a half-goblin). The world setting was elaborately detailed and quite interesting and there were some very good scenes throughout the book. I liked it a lot. ( )

This book is in nearly every way opposite to The Broken Earth trilogy, and they both sit at the top of my favorite books read all year, if not longer. It's been a good summer.

The main character, unexpectedly emperor, struggles his way through the cold formality of royal court and a looming threat of betrayal with not so much confidence as an abundance of heart. It's impossible not to feel his fear and discomfort, his relief whenever something goes his way, and his desperate longing for trust and friendship.

It puts you through the wringer a bit on names and titles, but it's more than worth the effort. ( )

While properly billed as a fantasy, Katherine Addison's"The Goblin Emperor" is also a satisfying psychological novel about a young man thrust into the most difficult job in his world, uncertain if he has either the shoulders or the stomach for it. ... And while it is a novel for adults, I wouldn't hesitate to give "The Goblin Emperor" to the kind of teen reader inclined to ponder what true friendship is and what compassion means.
