The Goblin Market (Into the Green Book 1)  by Jennifer Hudock was a decent fantasy novel.  As I was reading the goblin king played by David Bowie in the 1986 movie Labyrinth kept popping up in my head. Wonder where she got the idea for this story?  HMMM.... Anyways, it was worth the read.  Christina stumbles upon a Goblin Market in the forest where she is tempted to consume all of the fruits available for free.  She becomes poisoned and forced to reveal where her sister Meredith is to Kothar, the Goblin King.  When he finds Merry, he tells her that he has Christina and she must come with him to be his Queen.  She refuses and decides to venture on her own to the Darknjan Wald to find Christina herself.  After battling the Goblins in the Market, she is rescued by Him of the Green (yes, that's his name and it got annoying after a while) and taken Underground.  Come to find out she is actually Queen Glylwythia who was sent Upland to live as a mortal by her family to protect her from Kothar.  Lady Meredith enlists the help of Him and Sir Gwydion (who is a pixie) to help her get safely to Darknjan Wald to save her sister and bring peace to the realm.
