I loved The Goblin Emperor. <3

On my to-read list for the next few weeks, I have Otherbound, Half a King, Company Town, Broken Monsters, and several you've listed (Mirror Empire, Ancillary Sword, Upgraded, City of Stairs). So now I'm behind on short fiction *and* novel-length work. Go me. :D

I will say that I loved Honor's Knight. I read it again to refresh my memory after I got Heaven's Queen, and liked it so much the second time I read Heaven's Queen immediately after it and swallowed it in four hours at 2am so of course remember nothing but "HECK YEAH!!!" Will need to reread. :D

The Goblin Emperor was great!

Most of the stuff on your too read list is a bit grim for me, but I might check out Company Town.

I keep hoping that my library will get Honor's Knight, but so far they haven't. (I will have to look into ILL)

Ooo... you've just reminded me that I need to add Clariel to my wishlist.

I read Goblin Hero and had good but mixed feelings about it.

Having read Boxers and Saints, I was excited to see a GLY about immigrants and superheroics.
