A fun quick read. I thought the characters and world were interesting. The story was to one note for me to really sink my teeth into. It felt a bit lacking in fleshing out the characters or providing a plot I felt was worthwhile. I typically want short works to give a reason for both existing and for being shorter... And this gave just feeling underdone for what it could have been.
I did like the vibes so I will definitely want to read something longer by this author.
