Enjoyed this, but there was a lot here that felt more "fantasy as by paint by numbers." It's always hard when you have elemental orders of mages to not have it feel this way, but while Fellian was a compelling character, the story is too short to be fully satisfying. Hoping there is a sequel in the works down the line.
