Pick Up Goblins Bride Imagined By Anastasia Rabiyah Issued As Text

good

This short story was surprisingly good, This could almost make a cute series, Two people, who were thought of as odd by their own people, find love with each other, Also there are kidnapping and a good fight thrown in, It was a good read, I didn't love it but I also have nothing bad to say about it except maybe that the smut was not very good.
. . I give it.just because I didn't love it but the story got better the more you read it, Elgar left his home in the Grimfer Mountains to start a new life away from goblinkind, In the village of Fairbrook he finds a steady market for his wares, a fine burrow in the woods nearby, and something he never counted on: a bride.
After meeting her, he wakes the next day with a peculiar fever that worsens day by day, He suffers taunting dreams and cant stop thinking of her, Shes human hes a goblin, but his condition cant be denied, Hes found his mate. A bond between them cant work, or can it


,Magical Stars!
It was a true delight to read this story, A sort of adult fairytale that I'm sure everyone who loves romance and fantasy will love,
The first book I've read from this author and I was not disappointed, The cover was pretty enough, but the blurb caught me instantly, I bought it and left it behind in the mountain of books in my TBR list just sitting there waiting for me.
When I decided to read it, it turned out to be so much more than I expected!

Elgar left his home in the Grimfer Mountains to start a new life away from goblinkind.
In the village of Fairbrook he finds a steady market for his wares, a fine burrow in the woods nearby, and something he never counted on: a bride.
An odd encounter that brings him more trouble than he's bargained for, His life will change forever!

My blurb is much more subtle than the one given, And in my opinion, the original one gives out way more than it should, I myself recommend this book without reading it, Guide yourself with the title and its genre,

As to the story, . .
Well, as I said before, This was a gem in a sea full of seaweed and trash, I was kind of angry at myself for not reading it immediately, but you know that if you're a devoted reader like me, your TBR list is so full of stuff that sometimes you drown in it.
But you want more of course, . . So you just lose yourself and keep adding books and more books, It's crazy!
It just makes life and choices even harder, If you have a bad run, it's actually worse! Scrolling eternally, reading reviews and just hoping "maybe this one will win my heart!".

Some days are just full of bad choices, exasperating sighs and picking up books you promised to read first that get in the way.
Lol!

But enough of me!

Goblin's Bride is a fantasy/romance so charming an unique that you'll be turning pages with a smile.
At least I found myself drawn in, Completely swoon by its writing and I could not stop even if responsibilities were knocking on my door or my cat was in the way.


I have three cats by the way, . . So imagine my suffering!

The writing flowed nicely and the pace was exquisite, There was never a dull moment or a scene that dragged on to the point of being painful, On the contrary, it just keeps getting better,
It starts out with a casual encounter between Elgar the goblin and a beautiful human bride, she's crying and wearing a wedding dress.
From the start, its funny, charming and intriguing, A breath of fresh air! The characters were beautifully written,
I love Elgar! Like really, really love this guy! He's an odd sort of hero, And being the MC of the romance, I found myself swoon despite his race, As a geek, a DampD player, a fantasy world devotee, I'm very open to crossspecies relationships, I'm really into that Magic, other worlds, other races how they relate, World building and fantasy lore, So this was my kind of book,
Goblins, in particular, are not my in top fave love interests, as much as elves, orc, and others, And there are all sorts of version of goblins out there, . . And let's face it they're not pretty at all!

Well, except Bowie of course, He's quite the catch in the goblin community, . .
Elgar is different though, He's not pretty yet the author makes him sound handsome and witty, He's tall as an average human by the description but lean and not strong at all, His skin is green, his eyes are yellow and his hair is black, Long pointy ears and sharp teeth,

His outfit and manners are not in any way gentlemanlike, but he is so charming and so sweet in his own way that you end up falling for the guy.
The author did her homework when it came to the goblin culture, the typical professions, the way they think and they're love for finding shiny things.
They create jewels, weapons or artifacts, That's how Elgar survives. Mining, smithing and selling his wares, He also is a cunning hero, intelligent and a true trickster, He's just so well portrayed as a goblin, as a commoner gone hero, that its impossible not to think about having an Elgar in your life.


I liked the heroine too, Elizabeth is odd, sweet and totally insane, In a good way. She's not a badass, but don't expect her to be weak either, She's just different. A black sheep in her society, who is trying to escape from a fate determined by her father, The whole village thinks she's crazy and once you discover why you just want to hug her, She's just so honest and expressive with her feelings it makes her one of my favorite heroines, She knows just what she wants and isn't afraid of being different,
Will stop cause I don't want to spoil, . .

. The story starts funny. The twist and turns make it even better, And the plot turns out to be more than you expected to be, You thought it would a little plain,

a little simple, . . But then Something happens that makes the plot more intricate than I thought it would be, And I was mind blown,
. There is a romance of course, It's a slow burn and it aced in every requirement, Cause I'm picky It's just amazing how it moves from a wierd friendship to something more, And it takes its time to make it conceivable and relatable,
. What kept it from being a full five star was the secondary cliche characters and in my personal opinion, a rushed ending.

. Despite that tiny detail. This book teaches a lot about society itself, it can be related so easily to our own, It's not about possession or obsessive love, It's about stepping outside your comfort zone and helping another, Accepting that you're different from others and owning it, Being different sometimes can be an advantage that most disregard, And no matter what you are or where you're from, make the choices you want to make and not what others expect of you.


So yes! I totally recommend this read,
Do you want a fresh romance A unique couple A hero who had no intentions of being more than a simpleton who sells his wares A heroine who doesn't make you cringe
This lady's and gents is your choice! And it deserves more reviews and more people learning of its existence.
That's my point of view on it anyway, . . Hope you pick it up and make your own judgment, Probably will do a reread anyway, giggle
