A fairytale dream about a nightmare
At first glance, you get into the worldbuilding about fairytale religions and the power of positive thinking, and you consider that maybe this is going to be a light-hearted fluffy romp about a teenage girl's interpersonal issues in adolescence. And, for a small part of it, it IS that. The complex friendships and the sense of identity, and all that. But there's oh-so-much more to it. There's a genuinely sinister darkness, and a grim dystopia full of Orwellian social bindings. There's fast-paced action sequences, dubious character motivations, and the unravelling of one naive girl's worldview in a way that's almost harrowing.
Sequel now, please. Thank you.
