读过 Not Good for Maidens 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
三星半,一些 YA horror/fantasy,情节、设定和写法都很YA,但是仔细一脑补的话那一堆body parts and organs应该更像一部血浆片(Monica颤抖.gif),不过有意思,而且全程这个约克郡口音未免过于亲切!人物真的很讨喜~主要角色都是女性,Lou的女巫家族总有一种母系族群的即视感,即使忽略Lou真的是queer这一点,她仍旧日真的好queer,死到临头一脸无辜说“可是我没有违反规则"那边看起来很 anticlimactic但是我只想说是真的ace行为,并行的18年前May的故事线也写得不错,时空交错感很强,另外真喜欢Atra啊(虽然她的名字是这么拼吗听audiobook的尴尬。。。

Lou never believed in superstitions or magic--until her teenage aunt Neela is kidnapped to the goblin market.
The market is a place Lou has only read about--twisted streets, offerings of sweet fruits and incredible jewels. Everything--from the food and wares, to the goblins themselves--is a haunting temptation for any human who manages to find their way in.
Determined to save Neela, Lou learns songs and spells and tricks that will help her navigate this dangerous world and slip past a goblin's defenses--but she only has three days to find Neela before the market disappears and her aunt becomes one of them forever.
If she isn't careful, the market might just end up claiming her too.
