Still, the elves and goblins have different cultures, as well as different skin tones and sometimes subtle differences in facial features, and unfortunately there is racism and distrust aimed at the goblins.īut as the novel begins, the emperor of the Ethuveraz, Varenechibel IV, and his three eldest sons have just been killed in an airship crash, leaving the fourth and youngest son of the emperor to rule. They can marry and have children who are able to have children of their own. These goblins and elves aren’t different species, merely different races.
There are no humans, only elves and goblins in the novel, and they are not at all Tolkienesque.
The novel is set in a fantastical industrial age empire known as the Ethuveraz, Elflands ruled by a long line of emperors. And now comes your fantasy novel, The Goblin Emperor, another stellar book. After a disappointing reading year in 2013, the past four or so months have comprised one of the best reading streaks I’ve had in a long time.
