Beautifully written. Fantastic World. Interesting characters. Well rounded a finished story even with it being as short as it is.

Novellas just aren’t a great fit for me. Especially when it is done so well I want more.

“I hear you take orders, Trevelyan,” Pen says. “Take off your coat.”
Trevelyan steps away from the diamond panes. The brushed, heavy wool lands on the bed.

Man I wish this was a little longer, perhaps a novella. It was entertaining enough, and did a wonderful job of painting the setting and the main character, it has as much depth as it can have while being so short, and the lyrical writing and vivid world will certainly make me check out this author's other stories.

Beautiful. The language is astoundingly gorgeous, and it really transports you.

the premise is interesting but it doesn't work at all as a short story, a lot is lost.
