The book features a lot of dead bodies and gore so beware.
It's hauntingly beautiful love story about saphic witches at its core. And if that wouldn't convince you to read it idk whst else will. I liked how it expanded upon original poem while still keeping the vibe. You can buy pretty much anything at goblin market if you're willing to pay. If you follow the rules you'd be safe. However goblins don't like humans. Sometimes market visitors are found dead or not found at all. Why do people keep coming despite danger? Some believe they'll be fine, some want a little bit of risk in their lives, some caught an eye of pretty goblin girl. 😉
It has two timelines and I really appreciated huge "TWENTY YEARS AGO" written above chapters in the past. I personally cracked the mistery if you can call it that about halfway through. It's not even that compicated.
I don't know you tagged the book as a young adult. It's definitely for adults judging by the sheer amount of gore and other stuff going on. Just because the main character is young adult doesn't mean the book is young adult. 🤬
