Haha! What a fun, short read. It really caught me off guard near the end. "A mere formality," heh. While it's unlikely to happen soon, I really hope the authors revisit these characters, if not, then the novel's universe.

One of the best short stories I have read in a while. It was truly an experiment from the author, and it was quite a success too! I loved the futuristic setting, the strange and exciting new society that Ilona Andrews created in this story and how the characters developed. I'm sad that the story stopped after this short story. I would have loved to read more about The Reigh, Lord Nagrad and Deidre.

This was a cute short. I'm sorry that's the end of this series. I'd really love a full blown book instead of a few shorts.

This is a interesting, tease of a story. It alludes to a broader universe and complicated beings but doesn’t really get into it very much.

My favorite short by this writing pair. I really loved this one, more sci-fi than fantasy, but with their trade mark charactor developement and humor.
