L.Michiel Werbrouck was born in Oxford, UK but grew up in the Belgian city of Leuven.
The story started to pick up by the end, but I really wish that center portion hadn’t lagged as hard as I felt it did.Īll in all it’s a good read and I’d recommend it if you like that kind of story.
Grungy goblins in smelly holes isn’t exactly my idea of a good time. This book is solid, and I can tell there’s some really interesting ideas and worldbuilding baked into it, but I also feel like as a first volume it was a little lacking in the “hook” department. But then, for a man who died fighting oppression, it’s the perfect challenge for him. Lev is not happy with the situation in the least, especially given the way his race of goblins is treated among the hierarchy of monsters and underground creatures. He wakes to his sister Ghorza worrying about him because he was in an accident and almost died. Lev finds himself in a fantasy world in the body of a goblin named Gherm. But that’s only the beginning of the story. This paints a target on him, and he is soon assassinated. The story centers around Lev, a silver-tongued leader of men in our world who helps his people with organization and leadership skills to rise up.
It’s very much so inspired by the isekai Japanese light novels I’m so fond of and yet they have a unique Western fantasy bend to them.
