This is a small gem of a story.It does the characters right, like REALLY right.Ifia is adorable, cute and Naive. She's both dense and clever and her background pretty much explains why in fairly simple ways. And best of all, she's well written. She feels alive and doesn't feel forcefully molded to the story.In short she's the very likeable cute and dense type of character.Amelia is also a suprisingly likeable character. If you understand that she acts purely based on her true racial nature and then plug in how well she actually treats Ifia I just can't get myself to dislike Amelia, despite how uneasy I am about things her kind commits. Her true nature and her relationsip with Ifia is actually well written. Another big + for this novel.Edit: She never mistreats Ifia, despite her true nature.The story itself is also good. Comedy, fluff, action, drama. It has it all. But it never overdo anything. It dives into ugliness of humanity aswell as positive sides. It even dabbles abit into theology. But it never deepdives into any of it making it much more digestable and it fits the story alot better.Would I recommend reading it?Oh yes, it's a delight to read.Spoiler
I just have to say it, Ifia is ridicelously cute, and she's immensely dense in the right, not irritating, way. Also Amelia, despite what she is, has the restraint of a frickin Saint bless her.
