The story of Hym and Hur is quite intriguing especially because of the nature of their character. As immortals, they get to enjoy magic like it was the most natural thing in the world. They also get a chance to have fun with mortals.On this particular story,  Death allows them to pick one human whose touch can stop death. They agreed in haste knowing that they can always back out of the deal in the morning. Of course, Death is tricky. Instead of merely allowing the touched human (who is supposed to die) to live, even the dead comes alive. Hym and Hur now have a dilemma on their hands. They must try to outwit Death's tricky conditions on the deal to ensure that the human does not resurrect all the dead people in the morgue.I admire the wit of the author in making this short story but I believe that this deserves to be transformed into a longer, full-term novel. Immortal characters with a naughty streak simply can't be contained in such a short story. Their characters are too rich. Only a longer story or a series of short stories could ever do justice. I'd love to learn more about what these duo had been up to all those years to earn their trickster reputation.For a longer review, read my post at [...]Disclosure: I received a free copy of this e-book in exchange for an honest review.
