It was okay. Going in I didn't know what to expect about goblin mythology.

THE GOBLIN KING is basically a retelling of beauty and the beast. Where Beauty, Eliza, needs to see past the Beast, The Goblin King, Roan, and his solid heart of gold. The Beast must forget his own selfish desires before he can become a man once again. There is a twist added of an unscrupulous fiance, Steve, added into the mix.

I will admit, I found reading about the goblins interesting because I usually avoid most druid stories. However, since this type of creature was new to me, I learned quite a bit about goblins. But not enough to continue on with the series. It just doesn't have the spark that I need to keep me hooked.
