Re-Read in 2023
I don’t love this one that much cause it keeps cutting away from things happening and doing a lot of time jumps
Still made me cry at the end

I really enjoyed the whole concept of the Goblin Market in this one. The characters were really fleshed out- I’d love to see a short story about Moon though!

It was so sad to see Lundy constantly pushing off choosing the Market over the world she was born into though. And when she finally decided to try to cheat the system by buying more time, I knew it was going to end badly for her.

Of the first four books in this series, this was definitely the most heart breaking. Feeling like you belong in another place, but having obligations in the real world that keep you from being were you feel you belong would be really hard to cope with. I feel for Lundy.
