So, if T. Kingfisher writes it - I will read it, no questions asked. And this one did not disappoint - a novella chronicling an detachment of Goblins pulled through a portal by a fleeing wizard who find themselves behind enemy lines, it hits all the Kingfisher classics. Loveable main characters, the side character who steals your attention and makes you want them to have their own stand alone story, a journey, plenty of magic and just a touch of horror to keep it from being saccharine. I loved it and cannot recommend it highly enough if you've read all the canon or you're just looking to dip a toe into the water.
