I love when a sequel pulls you right back into a world and let's you fall in love all over again.

This is definitely a series I'll keep on my mind for ages to come

This was an amazing sequel to White Stag! This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites, combining Norse mythology and a fae-like court, and plenty of humor and sarcasm.
Janneke is one of the strongest main characters I’ve encountered; she’s been through unimaginable horrors at the hands of Lydian, but despite her physical and mental scars, she perseveres and fights through impossible odds.
She and Soren are unstoppable together, and their relationship is based on trust and communication, which I really appreciated. Soren himself is honestly adorable, despite being the the most powerful goblin in the Permafrost.
The other characters, Diaval, Seppo, and Rose, were all so real and entertaining, Seppo in particular. I didn’t really like Lydian playing a larger role in this book, but I like what happened with his character, as well as how Janneke draws strength from overcoming what he did to her.
Norse mythology plays an even larger role in this book than the previous, as Janneke and her friends fight to stop the end of the world. I really liked the mythological aspects, as some were familiar to me and some were new.
I love these characters and this world so much, and I can’t wait for the next book! 4.5/5 stars

Goblin King by Kara Barbieri is the 2nd book in the Permafrost series. Goblin King picks up about a year after White Stag ends when Soren becomes the new goblin king and Janneke has become the mythical creature known as "The Stag".
Janneke is still trying to learn about the powers she has inherited from the former Stag as well as still deal with being tormented by the shade of Sorens Uncle Lydian. When it is revealed that Soren and Janneke will be the ones to bring about the end of the world they must go on a quest to retrieve Lydian's soul for assistance and try to stop the end of the world from getting a chance to start.
I really enjoyed this book and I had no idea it was about to come out so I was super excited to get a hold of a copy to read and review.
I think the only issue I had with the story is that ended too quickly! I really didn't think I had read through that much and suddenly the story was over with. Needless to say, that's a personal issue and certainly nothing wrong with the story. I was just greedy and wanted more!
I really enjoyed the development of both Soren and Janneke and the group of friends that accompanied them on their quest and I certainly am looking forward to the last book in the series.
