After reading the novella, which I really enjoyed, I was really looking forward to this one. I was a little disappointed in this one. I enjoyed that it was different- a goblin as the romantic lead.

She doesn't allow her characters an easy out, and she definitely presents them (and readers) with unexpected challenges.The Goblin King is ...
