For a short story, I thought the pace, plot, and the main character development was very good.  It left me desiring to read the rest of the story- which is the hallmark of a good prequel.Begins with teen girl at home while her older brother is hosting a party at the house while their folks are away.  The girl gets into a situation that is way over her head and, in an act of desperation, summons the Goblin King.  Her mother had fed her stories in childhood of this character whose cold heart was made of gold, but he could be summoned to grant wishes.Enter scene- Goblin King.  He is not who legend made him out to be- not a goblin, but a cursed man who only had becoming a goblin to look forward to if he cannot beat the curse.The Goblin King is impressed at the type of wish that the girl desired because it was not a typical wish.Short, but poignantly sweet!  A nice little read.
