Comments: A father narrates a magical tale to his daughter as a bedtime story. Kanavin Goras is a very smart man who wants magic used freely in the land. The story changes here to Ran.
Ran is a daydreamer and has no focus on his life. He wants something yet has no idea what it is. He has found a pendant that has great power which he does not know how to use.
This world does have magic yet it is sparingly used. The pendant was stolen so Ran, Astreus, and Asteria the three siblings must retrieve it. The three of them are going on an adventure of a lifetime.
The pacing of the story is low-key. Things move along yet slowly with not much excitement. The art is not overly detailed. It does bring across the character’s personalities well. You do start to care a little about the characters. A little more about them would help the reader to care more about them. Plus knowing more about what this pendant is capable of doing would be nice.
This is the start of what promises to be the adventure of a lifetime. These three siblings especially Ran have the opportunity to step up and do something. Will he have what it takes? Can he stop the evil to be unleashed?
