I love dark, folklore inspired fantasies. I also love disaster sad-sack characters falling in love. So this duology is a win-win.
These were just some of my notes as I was reading. I'll compile full thoughts soon.

- I think Dimova does such a remarkable job of blending dark folklore with humor and intrigue.
- There is a humorous edge to so many of these characters that I adored. And some really sweet, silly moments that made me laugh. It was a nice balance to the themes of grief and guilt that so many of these characters are experiencing.
- It's canon that they read monster romance! I love this for everyone involved.
- Kikimoras are a real bitch. Would not recommend.
- Look at all of these queer monster loving fools! I love them.
- I do wish there had been just a pinch more of romance. The slow burn really slow burned but I still wanted just a little bit more. (even like a little epilogue with them being sweet and happy.)
