I think the beginning of the book, right before the library burning, needed to have more description in order for Kiela’s trauma response to be more impactful.

The pacing has been fairly consistent throughout. It’s reading as cozy and it reminds me of Diana Wynne Jones-style writing.

I can relate to the introvert vibes…

The pacing of the beginning of this story grabbed my attention. So far the world building is light, not much on the geography or magic system yet. The world seems archaic, so the words “okay” and “protein” were a bit jarring. Perhaps Gerardus Johannes Mulder exists in this world and proteomics is a part of the magic system?
