A very fun take on portal fantasy! I enjoyed the intergenerational storytelling a lot and the structure of the because being addressed to a particular person throughout. Also a fun magic system, and Harrow's historical settings are wonderful as always. All around a good time, but not so light-hearted as to feel frivolous.
Graphic: Gun violence, Forced institutionalization, and Grief
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Racism, Death of parent, and Colonisation
