About this listen

Jig the goblin was the runtiest member of an admittedly puny race. Jig was scrawny, so nearsighted as to be almost blind, and had such a poor self-image that when he chose a god to worship, it was one of the forgotten ones - after all, what other sort of god would have him as worshiper? He also had a cowardly fire-spider for a pet, a creature that was likely to set your hair on fire if it got into a panic. Made to stand tunnel watch by the goblin bullies who'd been assigned the job, it was just Jig's luck to be taken captive by a group of adventurers - with the usual complement of a dwarf warrior, a prince out to prove himself, his mad wizard brother, and an elfin thief. Forced to guide this ill-fated party on their search for the Rod of Creation - though Jig had no more idea how to find it than they did - he soon had them stumbling into every peril anyone had ever faced in the fantasy realms. And they hadn't even found the Necromancer or the Dragon yet!

Performed by Nanette Savard, Dylan Lynch, Terence Aselford, Eric Messner, Casie Platt, Thomas Keegan, Richard Rohan, Mort Shelby, Kimberly Gilbert, Danny Gavigan, Michael Glenn, Tim Getman.

great twist on the tropes

loved the main character, and the subversion of all the usual fantasy character tropes. Funny, but not silly; well grounded in real motivations.

Can’t get past the accents.

Not sure why an American narrator is attempting an English accent. It’s not quite Dick van Dyke levels but it totally distracted me from the story.
The cast has a bad Liverpool accent that occasionally becomes Scottish and a Scottish accent that drifts in and out of an Irish one.
Why use a Scotsman to do a Scottish accent, an English woman to narrate (if an English accent is deemed necessary) and a real scouser to do a Liverpudlian accent?

written for a young audience

I would say that the book was written for an audience of around 8-12 y.o
