This is a hilarious story, continuing where Goblin Hero leaves off. I'm still reading it, and have a hard time putting it down. I've just finished reading Goblin Quest and Goblin Hero, and got to see Jim Hines at Milenicon this year in Cincinnati. OH. I hadn't even heard about these stories before this year. His talking about the stories and who he originally wrote them for made me want to read this series. Now, I want to get every book he's written. His writing style is descriptive without bogging the story down, and it's easy to read without sounding like it was written for a pre-teen. My only real regret is that I didn't find these books sooner.

Jig the goblin is the runt of the litter who used to be picked on by goblins stronger than him which included the entire goblin civilization (if one can call it that since they fight between themselves and are backstabbers and sneaky beings who try to outwit one another ¿ that sounds like Congress). For a slimy goblin (obvious oxymoron), Jig dealt with two malevolent princes and a dragon, fought against the pixie infection and though he doesn¿t realize it, the goblins are beginning to respect and look up to him.---------- Trouble comes their way when the goblin¿s lair is invaded by the prince and princess whose brother bled in the goblin¿s lair. They steal the Rod Of Creation and take the strongest goblins to shore up their defenses against Billa the Blood and her army of monsters including orcs, goblins and kobolds. Shadowstar, the god Jig worships quietly helps him because he want Billa defeated apparently the godess Isa abets Billa with an objective to kill the god of death Noc who happens to be Shadowstar¿s son just as Isa is his wife.----------- Readers who want some fun and laughs in their fantasy should read Jim C. Hines¿ Jig the Goblin books due to the appealing hero. Jig is an amusing cynic who has no confidence in his ability to make things right as he assumes he is too cowardly to do so no one else in the goblin or readership communities believe that after his recent escapades in GOBLIN QUEST and GOBLIN HERO. His pathos, which sounds at times like chick lit goblin style, will have readers laughing out loud at the lament of a couch potatoes creature whose prime wish in life is not to be the greatest goblin hero.-----------
