Tunnels, trolls and disembodied souls. Bill Strike, fire mage, has a problem. The magical staff he used to destroy the malicious Faerie King has been stolen by the king's servant and, to make matters worse, the dark soul of the king is now trapped within the staff. With his companion Brianna and a goblin called Rasha, he sets off to the imperial capital to consult the library. With explosive consequences. Can he prevent the king's soul being united with a new body? Can his half-brother Chortley successfully send his goblin prisoners back to the Darkworld without falling victim to the labyrinth of the great wizard Minus? Can Gramma stop a load of revolting goblins? And who put that elf on the shelf? Trolls and Tribulations is the second book in the Faerie King series of humorous fantasy novels. If you're a fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld and like fast paced fantasy, engaging characters, steampunk robots and more footnotes than a chiropodist, you'll love this latest instalment in Kevin Partner's comic fantasy series. Buy Trolls and Tribulations and embark on this latest fantasy adventure today! Kevin Partner does it again in this second book in this series. Funny with a touch of the ridiculous for poor Bill Strike., Rita Reminds me of Pratchett, and Adams, and a little bit of John P Logsdon with his Ononokin series, Bonnie Magic, mystery and plenty of mathering. Well written plenty of characters and a good dose of humour. Similar to Disc world.
