Interesting premise that would have been great if fleshed out more. With such a short page count it was impossible to effectively build the world, history, and magic system without leaving gaps. I'll definitely keep an eye out for what the author writes next and hope it's a bit longer! I really liked the blend of magic and science and the diversity of the characters.
