This is my favourite kind of short story! Great characters, magic, adventure, world building, and dragons!

A beautifully written story about Bean and her two sisters when they (well, just Bean, really) decides to do something daring and dangerous because it is the right thing to do. There is tension and beautiful descriptions, and I vividly saw everything in this world even in the few short pages we are given.

I love how it hints at a greater world and story - the mages themselves, her sisters’ stories, more dragons and other creatures - and I’ll definitely be reading more!

Such a delightful read and a great way to start my morning! Highly recommend!

This short story was so much fun! I love the sisters, and Bean is hilarious. I can relate to her love for animals and mischief.

I hope Intisar Khanani will write more stories set in this world!
