adaptation of the Norwegian fairy tale "East of the Sun and West of the Moon".  This chronicles the first part of the story up to where the protagonist unknowingly breaks the troll queen's bargain and her "groom" is snatched away.

Valera is strong, determined, talented, and interesting. Her husband is patient, kind, and determined. I love them as a couple and when things go wrong I was so sad but glad she was determined to make it right.

This needed less of Valera and more of Erolas.

A fun (if not particularly deep) retelling of the first part of the myth of Eros and Psyche.
