This is my favourite by far. What a dream this was, literally. We follow Lundy and her experience with her own door and a world where people have to give fair value for everything they receive. If they don't, they are punished by the goblin market. I loved how much of her story we got in so few pages. You really feel how torn she is between the real world and the goblin market. It ends up being a pretty bittersweet ending, but those are my favourite anyway. Would recommend reading the rest just to get here 🙌
