Generations of magical safety held together by duty. An interesting premise, and enough to keep me reading through to the end.
Little things kept tickling my mind about the way the story was written. It's a different sort of coming of age story with a female heroine. Magic and danger abound, but it stays G rated.
Tilja becomes quite a character by the end and could easily lead many other stories.
