After barely surviving an adventure he never wanted, the scrawny little nearsighted goblin called Jig is now known as Jig Dragonslayer, and has the power of healing, thanks to the forgotten god he worships. But being a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be. Not when the goblin leader wants him dead, and everyone else actually expects him to keep doing heroic-and incredibly dangerous-things.
My thoughts:
I like Hines. He writes fun light fantasy. And this one is about goblins!

And Goblins are not the best of...well, to be honest, all races here suck. They all think they are better than others, they fight each other and so on. Goblins are like the rest then.
Jig, our reluctant hero is again called to go on an adventure. His leader wants him dead so he is sent to help the ogres find who is killing them.
Two sidekicks are an elderly goblin who wants out of daycare duty, and one big stupid goblin. Not to mention the goblin who thinks she is the real hero.
Conclusion:
Adventure, fighting, fun times :)
