The journey promises riches and redemption, but it just might come at a cost too steep to shoulder.

- frida_dridaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The chapters are short and sweet. Sometimes something irks me in the style of the narration (a little hard for me to quantify what, maybe the register at times), but the characters and the story itself keep me well invested. The world-building is a little sparse, but what is there I find quite cool. Certainly looking forward to seeing what's next.
