I really enjoyed this and actually really wish it was longer. The world that's given sounds really intriguing and the premise of the symbiote style system granting abilities and powers has key tie in to some of my favourite themes and styles in other media. If I wanted to write a book it would have a similar basis for it's system of powers as well.

The short nature did make it feel a little rushed, I recognise that was partially the intention but I believe all the key parts are here for this to be a full novel, expanding on the world, slowing down the real of the story and characters. It was a fun read that I enjoyed especially after some longer, slower fantasy reads recently.
