To save her sister, she must beat a goblin at his own game...
Freya knows the sound of goblin bells. She knows to move to the side of the road and let them pass. Never buy any of their wares. And above all else, never make a deal with the monstrous beasts.

But when her sister takes a necklace and is kidnapped, Freya knows there is no other choice. She must journey to the realm of the fae where the Goblin King himself has stolen her sister. Once there, she must perform four tasks to save the only family she has left.

The Goblin King won't make this easy, however. He always seems one step ahead of her. To defeat him, she'll have to put everything on the line.

Even her heart.

Gonna join in on this one!

(view spoiler)[ Esther says she's not so foolish, but she seems to be acting pretty foolish to me (hide spoiler)]

21%
(view spoiler)[ Honestly Freya seems to be just as foolish as Esther, only Esther was doing it in the name of their parents and Freya is doing it in the name of Esther. Kinda makes me annoyed that Freya was so annoyed with Esther to begin with lol. But I am enjoying the story (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ What a sneaky move to make. Freya should have known there was a catch (hide spoiler)]

84%
(view spoiler)[ Well that made me sad. I like Arrow, and I'm concerned about what's going to happen to Freya now that he isn't going with her (hide spoiler)]

Finished.
I really loved this!
(view spoiler)[ Not sure where the Gold from the title comes from though lolol (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ He is super arrogant, which I figure is pretty normal for a king, and I can't decide if I like him or not yet. (hide spoiler)]

28%
(view spoiler)[ The Spring Maiden making her into a flower, or planning to, gives me Alice in Wonderland vibes. lol I like how whimsical this is. (hide spoiler)]

45%
(view spoiler)[ So she's just traipsing through fairy lands. I guess I thought she and the Goblin King would be together more. (hide spoiler)]

66%
(view spoiler)[ Hmmm. Sounds like she's denying a little too much. lol (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I don't mind some arrogance, but too much and it's a big no. I did warm to the Goblin King as the I went along though. (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ I wasn't sure what to make of this story in the beginning. I like that it doesn't have all the fantasy/fairy tale cliches and went totally off on it's own path with the different lands. Also, that she tricked him in the end was very clever. (hide spoiler)]

31% (view spoiler)[Uh oh, how’s she going to get out of this sleep trap? (hide spoiler)]

51% (view spoiler)[I have to laugh because the visualization I get of the king is like an old school romance novel cover with the billowing white shirt lol (hide spoiler)]

80% (view spoiler)[Wow the pictures are like the portraits in Harry Potter... they're alive in there lol (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[This was cute. I was distracted through a lot of the book but I still enjoyed it. Don't get why he made her go through all these hoops for his own enjoyment?!?! But now I'm assuming she's the Queen but what does that mean for her? And seriously her sister is a total brat and I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble over her. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[That's a good point. I don't think it's used in any important matter that would justify it in the title. Usually it was just describing something. Maybe we'll learn later on? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah I'm glad she got one over on him but still to think she never had to even go through any of that is pretty annoying lol (hide spoiler)]
