Heard a thorough explanation of how problematic this book is, possibly even intentionally anti-semetic. The goblins are treated horribly, they're endangered because people keep killing them, and yet, still the main character thinks of them as squatters on her property (despite the fact that they were living there first), and is determined to kick them out of their home so she can open her bookshop. Also apparently there's a random book-burning that is just thrown in there for no reason, not sure why this would be there if the MC is trying to open a book shop. It's giving bad WWII allegory vibes, where the MC is somehow on the nazi side. Not cozy at all.
