The story drops you in a well-developed, gripping and creative world. Clearly, the author has done a lot of work building such an interesting world and it clearly shines. The descriptions of settings are jaw-dropping and clear. The characters have their own sense of charm and wonder. I could not help but find myself wanting to know more, which is a sign of interesting characters. My only wish is that there was more to read. It is as they say, great things (like this story) come in small packages, or better yet, in tea shops.
