The Goblin Bride by Emma Hamm
5.0
Review can be found on *Milky Way of Books*
Jane lives in a world where mining can offer you a chance to go and live in the City, but it comes with costs and danger. Desperate to feed and raise her two siblings, she will disguise as a man and go to work in the mines. An accident will lead her to the discovery of another race, the Goblins.
Beautiful and terrifying at the same time, the Goblins take her as a prisoner and a warrior, Ruric becomes her guardian. There is double POV so we know both their thoughts and the descriptions of this world are amazing.
I had read firstly the other books by Emma Hamm, "Heart of Fae" and "Veins of Magic", which were amazing, and in this book, I could see how the author's writing evolved. There is a slow pace, as Jane and Ruric try to learn each other. In some cases, they try to communicate and in others, Jane acts kind of stupid, since her growing feelings and fear of her family collide and she doesn't think in a logic way.
The first book concludes with a kind of cliffhanger which opens the way into the second book.
