I love this series so much! This installment takes us to the Goblin Market (based on the poem by Christina Rossetti), something I never knew I needed in a book, but could read forever. In standard McGuire nature, the characters are diverse and beautiful and full-bodied. They are darn near tangible.
The plot moves quickly and is intriguing from beginning to end. There are chunks that are glossed over that I found irritating, as I wanted to know everything that happened, but I'm hoping that maybe there will be more information given in a future installment...such is the nature of this series.
There were so many things to love about this and there was so much to feel. These little, short novellas always feel like such a teaser, but still have so much packed inside of them that they make my heart feel incredibly full before smashing it to bits in one way or another.
Seanan McGuire has autobuy status with me and is quickly moving up my list of favorite authors.
