There is so much fan art in my head right now just waiting to be painted. This was even darker and sexier than I expected. Poetic, dramatic, hallucinatory. S. Jae-Jones manipulates time masterfully. Oh and the music oh my glob I could actually hear the music! The reason I took off a star is because there really is A LOT of description, some of it repetitive. And Leisel's attraction to the Goblin King could had been a bit more, um, nuanced. But those things aside, I truly loved it.
