The Goblin Market reads like a classic fairytale, with a traditional beginning plotline: the abduction and necessary rescue of a loved one from lands afar and dangerous by an unassuming, unsuspecting "normal" girl. Meredith Drexler is the likable and capable rescuer, and her sister Christina, the carefree, dependent rescuee. Though similar to fairy-tales and myths with goblins, pixies, etc., Hudock's Market is original and refreshing to read.Descriptive and vivid, this is a well-written and enjoyable novel. The editing in the ebook needed some work but were not too huge of a distraction from the fast-paced novel and the characters. The pacing moves along briskly, there is not a dull or boring moment throughout the entire thing.Just read with fair warning, unlike typical, watered-down fairy-tales, remember that the oldest, beginning fairy-tales were much darker, with happy endings much more rare. Though some readers might want a different ending, I though it was brilliant as is; the perfect ending to a novel about goblin-abduction.More of my reviews here: http://bibliophileanonymous.blogspot.com/

Because Good Books Never Get Old.
Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.
I like books. A lot. I buy them when I should buy clothes, or you know, food. I like to talk about books. A lot.
I review at Ageless Pages Reviews with Danielle - one of the most kickass people I know.
I'm on twitter as @msjessieee.
I ramble on there a lot. There is also a lot of CAPS and puns in my timeline.
Say hi, and let's talk about books!
