The shining star of this book is definitely the MC, Tet Sang. His narrative voice and internal world were great to follow as a reader. I also thought that the world-building was fantastic, especially considering that this is a novella. However, something about this read fell short for me overall. I think it either needed more plot tension, or more character development.

I don't know how to talk about what I thought of this book because, the real thought is just that I liked it. It was a cute little story, but I don't know if it's going to really stick with me at all. The characters were sweet, and I loved their interactions. The way everyone felt like a family was very sweet. I reccomend this as a sweet, short book to read when you want a little bit of adventure.
