    This is an absolutely fine book, with not many words. It looks like it has a single heroine at the moment, and the daily and emotional scenes with the heroine are well written and not awkward. It's just a bit slow to warm up, and the world view slowly unfolds. It's a brand new system, and it's worth pursuing.
