I’m really enjoying this series. This one really broke my heart. The part where it says “if the story was to end here this would be the happily ever after but unfortunately it doesn’t end here” (paraphrasing) ugh I knew it would hurt lol.

This reads very much like a traditional fairy tale. Lundy is a shy girl who loves reading, rules, and loopholes. As with all the other Wayward Children books, she finds her door and goes through to the Goblin Market. Where rules are very particular and very important.

I absolutely loved this book. 

This is Lundy’s story. It was sad and heartbreaking but it was also full of love, growth, friendships and sacrifice. 

I am savoring this series.
