This magical world is super intriguing. The writing is definitely good. It is very descriptive, and the world building is very well done. I really loved the trans rep in this one, and it's especially interesting how it was presented here and relates to the magic system we have in this story. I especially loved the autism rep. Mael's autism was very much a part of the story, and I found the magical ways he used to cope, stim, etc., to be super interesting to see while also being very relatable. The romance that grows between Mael and Leo was actually rather sweet, and it felt like their journey was so natural. I really enjoyed that aspect of the story. My one issue was the pacing. There were times it felt like the story moved along perfectly, then there were times it felt like it was dragging, and it was a struggle to keep with it. I'm so glad I did, though. I really look forward to more stories from this universe.
