The world in the story was the strongest point, 2nd would be the few honest laughs I got from the dialogue. The plot was simply go to the place, do the thing, go to the place, do the thing which got repetitive. The writing style itself was also repetitive, and somehow clipped. It never got into a flow and enjoyable flow.

Narration performance was good.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Animal death

Moderate: Domestic abuse, Self harm

Multiple animals are killed by the antagonist as part of their magic. While appropriate within the story and the wold, is still a bummer
