79 pages of starshine and kittens and everything good. Laini Taylor has this way of taking words and arranging them in such a way that it in one instant, your heart is in your throat and in the next, someone has taken hold of your heart-filled jugular and thrown you to the ground. Only this short story with Zuzana & Mik could assuage the pain that comes with having to wait until freaking April for Dreams of Gods & Monsters. This novella is all of the happiness from the series and none of the angst. (Except I really do love the angst.) It's worth every penny of the $2.99 to spend one rapture-filled hour back in Karou's universe.
