A book that tells the story of goblins but delves into themes of social injustice sounds intriguing. Themes like substance abuse, systemic inequality, and tyrannical reigns are not easy topics. The author's ability to weave these into an analogy of a predator-prey struggle is amazing. Reading your review makes me even more eager to read this book. Thank you for writing this. What a great review.
Your Sincerely

I'm in awe. :idea2: The review is so detailed that without any spoiler, I know what to expect from the book. The detailed information about concepts and humor, dialogue and characters are so deep. Amazing review.
And for the book, I know now what to expect from the book. Usually fantasy books deliver the fiction world that helps readers escape reality. But I liked how this book goes into deep and darker themes of life. :!:

"The Goblin Addiction" is an adult fantasy with dark themes that uses mythical creatures such as Unctionites, goblins, ogres, and gods to paint a picture of the societal issues we face today. Unctionites seem like vampires who have to hunt goblins for blood. Congratulations!

The novel appears to construct a fictional world that reflects reality. It brings to light topics that not everyone is comfortable discussing using metaphors and dark humor.
