Zusammenfassung
5 stars! Some of the absolute best fantasy out there. It's origami magic with the most picturesque and yet terrifying settings. I'd give a lot of money to be able to do even 2 of the cool things Kurara can do. Ann Sei Lin has such a way with fantasy and worldbuilding that you're instantly transported to her exquisite world.
