Why We Love It

"Kingfisher’s writing never fails to enchant me- this time with a delightful and whimsically funny tale that involves all kinds of fantastical creatures, grumpy but brave goblins, a kind vet elf, a dark magical mystery, and the most courageous teddy bear soldier. Such a refreshing and quick cozy read.

I feel that so many “cozy” fantasies tend to blend together, but this is a standout work. I was immediately invested in the lives of the Whinin’ Nineteenth and loved the not-so-subtle jabs at the corruption of power and human colonization tendencies.

I hope we get more tales from this world, and hopefully more about the Nineteenth’s adventures one day!

While I don’t speak Glibber, to honor goblin culture: absolutely terrible, worst story of the century, better to be used to prop up a short table leg!" – Ashly

Publisher's Description

From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a tale of low fantasy and high mischief.

No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure.

But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece.

Unfortunately, between them and safety lies a forest full of elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures...a human being.
