"One of my favorite childhood books. Still read it now and again when I’m nostalgic."

Emily

"Loved this series. Very fun take on goblins and magic. Strong main character that when forced into situations makes the best of it and fights for herself /family. Bit of a captive bride situation so if you're not into that than avoid. Cute and clean fantasy romance. Has two sequels set in the same world with mentions of main protagonist. Male lead is kinda an ass, but I still love him. Edwardian-esk/period piece society. Would recommend for ages 12-16, but I'm 26 and still enjoyed it!"
