Short and sweet, but its a bit boring on account of its age. The narration is extremely direct and leaves little to the imagination. The themes are blindingly clear. Characters are mostly leaden.

Magic was cool but also not. Mechanics mostly unexplained but the air of mystery was good.

I feel bad giving it a 3 star when it was quite enjoyable and I'm about to start the next one but yeah, it's not a 4 star.
