Goblin Slayer, Vol. 9

By: Kumo Kagyu, Noboru Kannatuki, Kevin Steinbach - translator

He does not let anyone roll the dice.Goblin Slayer has temporarily separated from his party for what is supposed to be a routine delivery job with Cow Girl. However, things take an unexpected turn when they’re ambushed by a horde of goblins under the command of a mysterious, ghastly creature. It’s up to Goblin Slayer both to protect his childhood friend and fight off the foes all on his own, as the rest of his party is elsewhere—Priestess and the others have ventured to the snowy northern mountains, a region locked in a perpetual winter under the control of the evil Ice Witch…Can Priestess successfully lead the party to victory in Goblin Slayer’s stead?

Perfect storytelling and narration.

It was great to see a story where Cowgirl got to see firsthand exactly what Goblin Slayer's adventures look like. I also loved that Priestess got to lead her party along with Rookie Warrior and Apprentice Cleric on their own adventure, and getting to see her leadership skills and hard work pay off.

To go there and back again

The saga of Goblin Slayer continues to shine. Author has so many great references as seen with many various side characters, however the greatest influence is of course Tolkien.
The voice actors both are amazing as usual, bringing life to this amazing story!

Cow Girl and Goblin Slayer

I’m glad the other characters besides the main party had time to shine! Cow Girl especially. The adventure between her and Goblin Slayer was perhaps my favorite yet. It felt almost intimate.

Rookie Warrior and his partner traversed with the rest of Goblin Slayer’s party. We also briefly interacted with Wizard Boy and his traveling companionc too.

Lots of great characters and moments. My favorite were the interactions between Cow Girl and Goblin Slayer.

Shoutout narrators and author as always. Great job. We always learn more about the world, the characters, with each passing novel.
