I wanted to enjoy this but I just didn’t. The pros are the setting and the concept of magical girls and a magical underground, fighting against the injustice of the church and such. The cons were everything else. I didn’t love the characters. The pacing made it feel like a chore to read. My interest level in the story was like a roller coaster but ultimately flatlined.
