I want to love this book more. The story and the magic is great! I'm fine with it being a short story but there are many mistakes throughout the book and (this is me being picky), the paragraphs aren't justified.
I would love for this to be re-edtited and published again. And once again, it doesn't need to be longer, just edited for the little things because there's enough for it to add up to be annoying. Would have been 4 stars otherwise.
But a good read and interesting speculative fiction.

I wanted to love this more than I did. The concept is great, I absolutely loved the characters, and the magic system is cool, but overall, I think the writing I wanted more from. The pacing felt very clunky to me, it feels like there is a conflict, its resolved, we move to the next thing. I wanted a little bit more flow and development. Still though it's a very very fun story!
