But when her own sister is taken by the Goblin King, Liesl has no choice but to journey to the Underground to save her.

This book was intriguing. I read it in about 5 days and it was a quick read. It was captivating in it's uniqueness but it definitely left me dissatisfied and maybe that was the idea. There's a strange "stockholm" syndrome introduced and it leaves you wondering how you actually feel about Liesl's choices in this story.
