God damn, I could genuinely read a million books in this series, this was so good! I didn't care much for Lundy when she was first introduced in the first book but seeing how she became the person we meet in book 1 was so engaging. The character prequels in this series are by far my favorites so far!

I loved getting to hear Lundy's story in this quick, fun book! I understood the world of the Goblin Market more than I did Confection (with more rules and logic), but I do wish there was a little more world-building. I wanted to hear more about the people and creatures that live and work there!

Even though I knew vaguely of the ending (as told in Every Heart a Doorway), it still broke my heart. The writing is beautiful and the audiobook read by Cynthia Hopkins (who also narrated Every Heart) is an absolute delight to listen to.

There are certain plot points that are mentioned, but no true detail is given. I was fully expecting the book to come back around to the battle of the Wasp Queen and the death of another character, but it never does. I do wish we came back to the battle and the loss, as I think it would give more insight to the grief felt by Lundy and Moon (and even the Architect).

My favorite so far in the series. Lundy’s backstory is about the transition from childhood to young adulthood. It is both poignant and heartbreaking to read. There is also an overarching criticism of the greed of our current society and it’s exploitative nature

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.
