Pros: lyrical writing, worldbuilding borrowing elements from different cultures from our world with different perspectives - reminded me a bit of FFXIV. 
The main characters are very lovable, and their conflicts are believable.
Sarai's death is kind of inevitable if you think about the hints throughout the story, but it's still very sad. I wish we got to see more Lazlo x Thion. A good spin on the "chosen one" trope.
