A lush tale of deadly court intrigue and a modern classic of fantasy by Locus award winner and Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award finalist Katherine Addison

Unbound Worlds 100 Best Fantasy Novels of All Time

A Best Fantasy Novel of the Decade Pick for BookRiot


The youngest, half-goblin son of the Emperor has lived his entire life in exile, distant from the Imperial Court and the deadly intrigue that suffuses it. But when his father and three half brothers in line for the throne are killed in an "accident," he has no choice but to take his place as the only surviving rightful heir.

Entirely unschooled in the art of court politics, he has no friends, no advisors, and the sure knowledge that whoever assassinated his father and brothers could make an attempt on his life at any moment.

Surrounded by sycophants eager to curry favor with the naïve new emperor, and overwhelmed by the burdens of his new life, he can trust nobody. Amid the swirl of plots to depose him, offers of arranged marriages, and the specter of the unknown conspirators who lurk in the shadows, he must quickly adjust to life as the Goblin Emperor. All the while, he is alone, and trying to find even a single friend . . . and hoping for the possibility of romance, yet also vigilant against the unseen enemies that threaten him, lest he lose his throne-or his life.

Recenzii

“Challenging, invigorating, and unique.” –Scott Lynch, bestselling author of The Lies of Locke Lamora, Nominated for the Nebula and Hugo awards, and a World Fantasy Award Finalist
“Katherine Addison’s The Goblin Emperor is a vividly imagined fantasy of court intrigue and dark magics.” Unbound Worlds 100 Best Fantasy Novels of All Time
The Goblin Emperor is hard to beat… Witty, elegant, kind.” –Francis Spufford, The Guardian
“Spellbinding… Unreservedly recommended.” Kirkus, starred review
“Fantastic.” Library Journal, starred review
“Subtle, intricate, fascinating worldbuilding.” –Katherine Arden, author of The Bear and the Nightingale
“Impressively elaborate worldbuilding underpins this lovely fantasy novel, but I couldn't put it down because of the heart-grippingly sympathetic main character.” –Kate Elliott, bestselling author of Unconquerable Sun
“Ambitious and meticulously executed.” Publishers Weekly
“Addison has built a completely believable world, complete with its own language, customs, and history, but there are tantalizingly familiar elements (such as newspapers and pocket watches) that make us wonder from whence this world came and whether it might have sprung from our own, in a distant future.” Booklist
The Goblin Emperor has one of the most lovable characters we’ve met in ages… Remarkably compelling and fascinating.” io9
