![]() ![]() Now, its not just about Myne's hobby that money could save her life, if she makes enough in time. The slower burn is still there, which might bother some impatient readers, but with the solution for Myne's sickness seemingly so unattainable, the pressure for Lutz and Myne to make as much money as possible feels heavy and real. Yes, I know that the point is to further show the class structure in the city Myne lives in, but it still hits home for me. Interesting, and apt plot point for those of us living in the States. They just fly under the radar, while the nobility are cured. Unfortunately for Myne, and others in her social class, they aren't cured because they really aren't 'supposed to' have magic. It is a magically induced fever that can only be cured by spending loads of money on it. The stakes are raised higher, as we learn what exactly is affecting Myne so horribly. She learns some harsh lessons, especially as a person that doesn't have the means to deal with certain things. It's true, but not in the way they actually think! Myne has a business deal set up finally with the sly merchant, Benno, and is learning the ins and out of dealing with trades. People are finally taking note of Myne's behavior and are perhaps thinking that she's. This is still a solid light fantasy that focuses more on every day lives of ordinary people than large dramatic events. ![]()
