I have read it three times now and also listened to the audiobook. I have read all of the spin-off series as well and I absolutely adore the world building. Maia is such a refreshing character to read from his point of view. I was so tired of reading about characters who's defining trait was being frustrating, angry, or justifying their poor personality or hurting other based on their trauma. Which yes, those are interesting characters when well written, but so often they are flat and it's exhausting when you yourself just want to be kind and want to see kindness reflected into the world around you. In comparison Maia is given great power and is uncomfortable with himself as a person in a world that he's not accustomed to and feels alien in, but he remains kind and caring and open to others. He has suffered through his life and experienced pain, but does not use his power for revenge and treats everyone as he wishes to be treated. This does not mean that Maia has no interesting characteristics or problems with characters around him. There's lots of court drama and miscommunication and I find him a wholly fleshed out character whose growth is slow and believable. I wish there were a hundred more books with this main character and I'm always happy to see him mentioned in the spin-off series. (Please I need a book about Maia dealing with the war that keeps being mentioned off and on throughout the book series as a background conflict!) The supporting cast is also great and I really enjoyed seeing how Maia's relationships grew over time. The world building is also fantastic. I want to know everything about the culture, the people in the world and the magic and magical creatures that are mostly talked about and not shown. I will say the ending felt a bit abrupt/tied up very quickly compared to the slow build of the book, but I wasn't unsatisfied. ## Features - Item Trademark: TOR BOOKS - manufacturer: Starscape - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 0.55, 0.55 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #56,420 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #68 in Sword & Sorcery Fantasy #99 in Epic Fantasy #115 in Coming of Age Fantasy | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 567 Reviews | ## Images ![Tor Books The Goblin Emperor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91lGfuja+5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Damaged cover *by S***A on 25 January 2025* The front cover was damaged but otherwise it’s in good condition ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All-time favourite book *by K***E on 27 January 2026* I can't begin to explain how much this has become my favourite book.
