Starred review! Dust jacket! Also kitty!

[truepenny]

ETA: Kirkus gives The Goblin Emperor a starred review. Please add exclamation points to taste.

My splendid editor, casacorona, has an equally splendid assistant, who today sent me the dust jacket for The Goblin Emperor.

Fig. 1: My lovely assistant Catzilla* will show it to you:



Fig. 2: What do you mean, that isn't what you wanted?



Fig. 3: For somebody we only keep around for your thumbs, you're AWFULLY picky.



Fig. 4: Is THIS better?



Perfect, Catzilla. Thank you.

That is very splendid. And Catzilla is beautiful.

That's a nice cover & a handsome cat. He reminds me a bit of the late Belle, and I hope he's not nearly as neurotic.

*happy dance for starred review*

Here you go: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's really a lovely review. Also a gorgeous cat, though I seem to recall that that fluffy benign exterior conceals a rapacious and wicked heart. Like they do.

I read the part of The Goblin Emperor you had posted and preordered the eBook. I cannot wait for the rest.

I'm waiting eagerly for pub date, but in the meantime, how did you get my cat and what did you do with her nose smudge and flesh-colored ears? (Which are the only visible differences between the two beasts.)

I note with amusement that, in photos as in life, Catzilla's tail gets its own zipcode. Oh, fluffy kitty of fluffitude.

(And !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the review indeed!)

Unreservedly recommended! How splendid.

Also, what a floofy cat.

YAY for a kirkus star! I cannot wait for this book to come out. :D

Woohoo! I read the teaser you had posted, and now am waiting as patiently as I can manage for the rest. ;-)

Also, your assistant is extremely floofy and resembles strongly my sister's extremely floofy feline assistant.
