Blurb: When a party of goblin warriors find themselves trapped behind enemy lines, it'll take more than whining (and a bemused Elven veterinarian) to get them home again.
Nine Goblins is a novella of low...very low...fantasy.
Review: This book manages to be so wholesome, while not making the story child-like. It is exceedingly short and quick to read. The setting of a behind enemy-lines set of goblin soldiers is genius, and the true day-to-day of an elvish veterinarian is funny to see. I laughed many-many times when reading this book, and think the portrayal of goblin culture is absurdly well done. Many of the sentences and inner-thoughts of Sergeant Nessilka are absolute joys to read. A truly great short-novel.
