4.0

The premise of "A Magical Girl Retires" is unique and well executed. It's rare to find a fantasy book that's less than 200 pages, and this one really stood out in that regard. I really enjoyed how the story unfolded initially, capturing my interest from the start. 

However, I have to admit, the ending didn't quite meet my expectations. Something felt off about it—not because of the book's length, but because the conclusion left me feeling unsatisfied. Overall, it's still worth a read if you're looking for a quick and engaging fantasy tale. Despite its ending, the book's originality and pacing make it an enjoyable experience.
