"A Magical Girl Retires" is a fantasy novella which deals with a lot of real-life issues.

The story is original, using the ever-so-enjoyable and lately criticized theme of magical girls as a vehicle to serve the themes that the novella dealt with, like climate change.

The author also does an amazing job managing to present a cohesive story with a smooth beginning and a nice ending. The story was also fast and easy to read.
