Lundy's story! Goblin Market! I just love this series. I really don't have any literary critique to offer here, not that I ever do. Good vibes and hard-hitting social commentary hidden in fantasy is what Seanan does best.

Wow! This may rival my love for book one of this series. I hadn't been sure how much I could actually enjoy Lundy's backstory, but this had me feeling all the feelings. I really loved the complexity of relationships and feelings explored in this one. My heart hurt for Lundy several times through this short story!
