kenjariIn an Absent Dream
by Seanan McGuire
In this next entry in the Wayward children series, we get the backstory of Lundy, one of the teachers at the school for children returned from otherworlds. Lundy, an isolated, bookish child, first walks through a door to the Goblin Market when she is eight. It is a place of rules, bargains, and debts in which she thrives. The nature of this world allows travel back and forth until the point at which a firm choice must be made. Lundy goes back and forth a few times during her adolescence, and it doesn't take long for her to feel that the Market is her true home. Unfortunately, in the Goblin Market, bad bargains incur a very high cost.
I found In an Absent Dream the most heartbreaking book in the series so far. It's about choices and costs, and the price of avoiding them.
