Such a cute little story about two monsters falling for each other. I loved the mention of lesser known mythological beings (i.e. the mention of the huldra, that's from Scandinavian folklore). I have read Cassandra Khaw's Nothing But Blackened Teeth before this, and I can see the improvement in her writing. This is one I know I will keep for a very long time.
