It’s a brilliant flicker of promise that leaves quite a bit to be imagined by the reader. I would highly recommend just for the novelty of exploring Everfair and charting it’s inhabitants and “founders.” However, the narrative tends to skip and whirl at quite a sketchy pace at moments. Not enough details and movements between paragraphs may ask the reader to fill in the gaps.
