Book Summary
Summary from first book:
Mage-Craft—
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 sons 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.

What did I think?
I quite liked this book! The world was very interesting and I loved the steampunk elements of this.
First Book: Maia is such a good character and I loved reading about the court in this world.
Second Book: Much shorter book than the first and I wanted more! Thara Celehar is so interesting and we get a glimpse of a new city in this world and a glimpse of a different class of people. I wanted more, but this was really well written!
