Goblin War (Jig the Goblin #3) by Jim C. Hines

Goblin War by Jim C. Hines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


If you think it’s hard being a hobgoblin or a human, try living a goblin’s life for a while. In fact, try imagining what it’s like to be the runtiest goblin in the caves, the lone worshiper of a god who’s been forgotten for a good reason, and the target everyone points to at the first hint of trouble. Try picturing yourself as Jig Dragonslayer, and see how you like it… Despite impossible odds, Jig was still alive. He’d survived an adventurer’s quest against a dragon and a necromancer, a pixie invasion that had ogres and trolls dropping like flies, and, most frightening of all, the threat of being made chief of the goblins. He wasn’t sure how much more he could stand. Naturally, he was about to find out. War was brewing in the world outside the Mountain, and when the goblin’s lair was invaded by human warriors in search of the Rod of Creation, Jig knew it was just the start of another really bad day…

Very much enjoyed this third novel in the Jig the Dragonslayer series. We got to learn about Tymalous Shadowstar and who he is, how he got involved with Jig, and what becomes of him (maybe?). Jig saves the day again and finally brings peace to the mountain (as much peace as possible with a mountain full of monsters). Plus I see potential for a new Jig novel in the future!!! Overall a great series of books and I would happily read more.

I loved this book of short stories. I am in the midst of reading the Jig the Goblin series and this was a wonderful jaunt to take. I don't think that I can pick a favorite out of the stories. I really enjoyed them all. From baby Jig, to finding out what Veka does after her part in Goblin Hero to Smudge being a hero at a modern day fantasy can. All great fun reads and I especially enjoyed the author's afterwords with each story. Well worth the 2.99 spend to purchase the eBook.

Goblin Hero (Jig the Goblin #2) by Jim C. Hines

Goblin Hero by Jim C. Hines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



After barely surviving an adventure he never wanted, the scrawny little nearsighted goblin called Jig is now known as Jig Dragonslayer, and has the power of healing, thanks to the forgotten god he worships. But being a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be. Not when the goblin leader wants him dead, and everyone else actually expects him to keep doing heroic-and incredibly dangerous-things.

~~~



Another fun read in the Adventures of Jig the Goblin, Reluctant Hero. lol I loved the new characters -- Grell, Veka, Braf and Slash. As the somehow managed to stop the Pixie invasion and survive enchanted Ogres. I am very much looking forward to Jig's next adventure since we all know that they come in threes.

Goblin Quest (Jig the Goblin #1) by Jim C. Hines

Goblin Quest by Jim C. Hines

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Jig is a scrawny little nearsighted goblin-a runt even among his puny species. Captured by a party of adventurers searching for a magical artifact, and forced to guide them, Jig encounters every peril ever faced on a fantasy quest.

~~~



This was such a fun read. I really enjoyed reading about poor Jig's adventure. I also want to mention how much I love the cover illustrations on this series of books. Kudos to the artist who gave us a perfect visual of Jig to relate to as we read about his adventures. Moving on to his next reluctant adventure............
