I found the story via a shirt story collection. It seemed interesting to start with, and really had the potential to be a good spin off the original tale, but the plot ended up being rather thin and the writing very repetitive and amateurish, potentially not edited; rather than intrigue, it was a run of repetitive monologues, with answers obtained through magical meditations (and this particular was introduced too late in the story to make it fit in), mysteries hinted at and characters never fully developed although painfully close to being so. There were also errors and mixing up of the characters, which might have been done on purpose but in that case not very effectively.
Overall the story felt rushed, fell flat a few times and left me skipping through sections of repetition. I wouldn’t recommend it to an adult that enjoys reading stories that are well written and fully formed, but it might be an entertaining holiday no-brainer kind of read for a pre-teen.
