The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge

















This book is really weird.  The elves and the goblins have been at war.  Brangwain Spurge, an elf, has been sent to the goblin kingdom to deliver an ancient goblin artifact that has been found as a gesture of peace.  Unbeknownst to him though it has been turned into a bomb.  As Spurge and his goblin host compare notes they discover that each side blames the other for everything.  Can these factions ever learn to get along. 

Part of the book is "transmissions" from Spurge to the elven kingdom and are illustrations so that helps move the book along.  The book is quirky, a bit funny, and asatire about war.
