Synopsis

Jig the goblin was the runtiest member of an admittedly puny race. Jig was scrawny, so nearsighted as to be almost blind, and had such a poor self-image that when he chose a god to worship it was one of the forgotten ones - after all, what other sort of god would have him as worshiper? He also had a cowardly fire-spider for a pet, a creature that was likely to set your hair on fire if it got into a panic. Made to stand tunnel watch by the goblin bullies who'd been assigned the job, it was just Jig's luck to be taken captive by a group of adventurers - with the usual complement of a dwarf warrior, a prince out to prove himself, his mad wizard brother, and an elfin thief. Forced to guide this ill-fated party on their search for the Rod of Creation - though Jig had no more idea how to find it than they did - he soon had them stumbling into every peril anyone had ever faced in the fantasy realms. And they hadn't even found the Necromancer or the Dragon yet!

Goodreads review by Paul on April 06, 2025

A wonderfully entertaining comedic fantasy romp! In Hines' typical fantasy world populated with elves and dwarves, princes and wizards, goblins are definitely at the bottom of the fantasy food chain. But in this apparently quite typical fantasy world, Jig is not your typical fantasy hero. In fact, Ji......more

Goodreads review by Kater on December 05, 2010

This book will lose most, if not all, of its humor if you haven't played D&D. In fact, it basically reads like a novel version of a D&D game, written from the point of view of an NPC (Non Player Character.) This NPC is Jig, a goblin who falls in with a group of adventurers who are bent on exploring......more

Goodreads review by Dorothea on April 04, 2012

I love this book so much. I read it last year, but now I finally treated myself to the two sequels, I decided to read it again. It definitely held up to re-reading. I don't know how Goblin Quest would seem to people who aren't familiar with fantasy RPGs or post-Tolkien fantasy adventure novels. I enjo......more

Goodreads review by Garden Reads on July 10, 2022

CRUZADA GOBLIN. 4,5 estrellas en realidad. Una verdadera lástima que esta novela no cuente con su traducción al español porque es magnífica. La trama se centra en Jig, un goblin de lo más bajo, que junto a su mascota, una araña capaz de provocar fuego, se topan por coincidencia con el típico grupo de......more

Goodreads review by Blodeuedd on July 23, 2016

I was unsure about this one to be honest, it was the story of a scrawny goblin after all. But I should not have feared, it was a Hines book after all. This one was amusing, oh those silly humans ;) See Jig lives with the rest of the goblins where goblins live. And sometimes pesky humans aka adventure......more
