Not my favorite in this series, but I still very much enjoyed it. Fantastic worldbuilding. Lundy was a really interesting main character. Not gay enough, especially compared to the other books in the series, but still some really cool reflections on gender and childhood. And props to Seanan McGuire for (as far as I can tell) managing to avoid antisemitism in her goblin market retelling!
