Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #586: Nine Goblins by T. Kingfisher

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the PublisherFrom New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a tale of low fantasy and high mischief.

No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure.

But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece.

Unfortunately, between them and safety lies a forest full of elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures…a human being.

Nine Goblins: A Tale of Low Fantasy and Mischief by T. Kingfisher is expected out January 20, 2026 from Tordotcom.

Why am I waiting on this book? This book intrigues me. It sounds like it will have humor and adventure. And T. Kingfisher is an excellent writer. I like the shift in perspective to the goblin's point of view.

What book are you waiting on?  Leave a note about it in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our ever growing TBR lists. Happy Reading!
