** spoiler alert ** 
 Elizabeth grew up in an inn near the goblin grove playing with the king of mischief her entire childhood. Over time though Elizabeth returned to the grove less and less and began to forget about the goblin king - he never forgot about her though. 
 This story is a mix of the Labyrinth for the first half, and in my opinion A thousand and One Nights more so (others say beauty and the beast) for the second half. The goblin king kidnaps Elizabeth's sister as a means to getting to her but love and music are two powerful things in this novel. 
 i didn't get the ending when he just let's her go so easily.... Doesn't he need a human bride to keep the world above from going cold?? He just let her walk away so simply?? 
 A very poetic novel (which usually aren't for me). 
 An angsty romance (another thing I typically don't enjoy). 
 I wish it had focused more on the siblings relationships the second half of the novel because that's what I really enjoyed reading. 
 Great for a debut novel though
