ceruleancorvidI’m listening to the Goblin Emperor audiobook again while I finish knitting my dad’s Christmas present, because this book is comfort food for me. It’s slow, and sometimes long periods of time go by between moments of connection between the characters, but those moments really feel earned because of it.
Also, the beginning of this book from Csevet’s perspective is Wild. You’re a member of the generally scorned profession of couriers, and you’re sent to tell the new emperor he’s emperor; he shows up barefoot, mussed and harried by his awful cousin, commandeers your return airship, and then INVITES YOU UP TO SEE THE SUNRISE
AND THEN LEANS IN AND DROPS FORMALITY TO ASK FOR YOUR NAME
and it really just. keeps going from there.
