It’s an intriging short story, where you are thrown into the middle of a world with an intricate magic system with little to no explanation at first. But as the story unfolds you learn more. More about the characters, the magic, the world. Still it feels like so much more is to be explored and I think I would like to spend more time in the Selish system in the future.
