Wow! Holy wow! This really held my attention from beginning to end. I love that there was no hand-holding-exposition, but rather everything was explained within the story throughout. I am fascinated by the magic systems of Witches and expositors!! This was such a good combo of found family and anti-imperialist political heist. It flowed well with chapters alternating between the current and the past. 

The eventual "revelation" and convo with

Ramad

felt a little out of the blue and quick, and I would have liked a bit more Kai x Bashasa but alas you cannot have everything
