Description

It takes a village to raise a child. So what you do if the village is destroyed?

Ratface is a goblin whose village has been destroyed by other goblins. She's in a bind where she needs to rely on the kindness of others in a world where kindness to goblins is the exception not the rule. Things only get worse when the first person to offer to help her is an adventurer; Granny Greatsword.

Goblin Orphan and Granny Greatsword is a story about a little goblin and her 'Grandma's' adventures. They'll go on quests, learn new skills, and unravel the mystery of Ratface's attackers.

Very happy with this story it really pulled me in and has a proper plot to boot, not just random things happen to charactereas is so often the caseein serial fiction. Ratface is an entertaining protagonist to follow an. Has attracted a good set of comphnions, though not all of them have had their chance in the spotlight yet. And there has been just enough world building to make things interesting without spoiling the surprises too early.

I have followed it from the start and am looking forward to the second in the series. It is quite a different take on Goblins and Elves in general. The author has a unique style and follows through on the most important aspects of a story related to overall plot, characterization and Flow. There are occasional mistakes in grammar and sentence structure but that is normal around here, where first drafts fly off into the skies like fireworks on New Years Eve :) They caught my attention and they held it. Well done!

stumble upon this story when I randomly searching for new story to read and hooked with it since the beginning.
love how original the goblins culture is especially their naming sense and meaning behind it.
love the interaction ratface with other characters and how determined she is to staying true to herself.

The author clearly has an idea for their story, and so far it seems well laid out. The writing is clear, there is direction, and character goals are relatable. Dialogue is good and doesn't seem forced or scripted.
In technical terms, the author needs to proofread for punctuation errors and typos, like 'that' instead of 'than'.
Unrelated to the review, but still related to the story (and many other stories): as a reader I despise the use of the words "dearie" and "granny". Dearie is longer than dear and granny is the same number of syllables as grandma. I have the same reaction to these words as others do to 'moist'.
