Reviews

[Pieter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mira travels to the next spot in her quest to find Soul Howl. The trip is mostly by train through many different places, encountering all kinds of interesting travellers on her way. Personally I rather like these kind slice-of-life travel journals in a fantasy setting, especially if the the author makes it a fantasy setting with larger then life scenes and travel methods. As far as plot progress, there is a little near the very end, but not much. Things can be a bit slow, and Mira does have an easy time. Still, it is a kind of story I enjoy, light-hearted, but not too over the top in the comedy department.

Train rides

I was slightly jealous at this part of the story, since my country does not have a robust rail network. Mira goes off to continue her search for the Nine Wise Men. To accomplish this task, she takes the train. So she explores the sights and finds some clues to one of them and the person themself of another, Wallenstein the Shadow.
