What's worse than goblins? Zombie goblins!

[Izzu · Rating 4 out of 5]

Everytime I start to read any of the books in this Goblin Slayer series, I really can't stop marvelling at how intricate and character-driven these stories are. Yeah, in every story we get to read about how the adventurers embark on a new adventures and such and as usual Goblin Slayer will continue to slay goblins, yet in the midst of it we also can see how certain groups of adventurers may end up interacting more with certain adventurers and less towards a few others or how some end up never crossing paths with each other but then later they did. It was interesting to be able to read about all these interactions and see how much the characters have grown.

Like how in this book we get to see how many people end up going all out to help Priestess when it appears that there's a plot against the temple of Earth Mother. And we get to see Priestess having to deal with some emotions that she usually didn't have to worry about. And it was interesting to see how much the people around her cares and worries so much about her, which includes Goblin Slayer. And it was amusing how much the two of them had grown from the early books.

Unique array of characters.

I believe this series has shown how a unique style of writing can be accomplished by an author. To be honest, I didn’t like at the beginning of this serie the lack of names of characters, the main protagonist using armor an helmet all the time. But the author kept his vision of the world, characters and writing style, and now I admit that my first impression was wrong. This volume, and this serie shines for its writing style, the world and its characters, each one unique and special. This is one of the closest writings that captures the soul of what is playing TRPG, D&D specially. The fights are brutal and there is always the chance of failure. This volume is pack of action, and the main plot keeps being developed.

I liked how the author took the adventures down a route they have little experience with, not only in how they confront the main situation but also with bringing up emotional problems that were already dealt with.
The former is self explanatory, the latter because it brings the challenge of doubting something that was considered settled. But in truth, it will constantly be brought up, the only question is whether we let it grow or kill it every time it comes up. It's an eternal foe we can't permanently exorcise but it can make us stronger.
Fight on Priestess and Goblin Slayer! Never give up!
Enjoy :)

P.S. I'm in for Priestess and Goblin Slayer.

Just didn't feel this one. I did like the idea of the zombie gobs, even that GS and friends did some scooby-doo level investigating... but I often found reasons to read something else instead of this. At 200 pages I should have read it in a day or two. But because I never felt compelled to sit and read (even the last 50 pages I kept putting it down yesterday) it took me over a week.

As always, your mileage may vary, but it wasn't my favorite GS book. So much so I'm going to return volume 11 to the library and read other stuff before picking it up again.

The references to Shadowrun were hilarious. Worth reading all this way just for the mental images conjured up by them.

[Suzette Banick · Rating 3 out of 5]

this was most possibly the most boring of the GS books. No idea why. It just didn't appeal as some of the others.

[Ricardo Matos · Rating 2 out of 5]

Could have been a side story. Nothing much happens. There is one interesting chapter about the rogues, but that’s about it... author is milking the series with volumes like this

[Wow · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mellow read compared to last volume but enjoyable nonetheless.
Loved the strategy as well as the part relationships

Always a fun turn your brain off read.
