This story is aggressively average. Some moments are really fun and feel inspiring. But, overall the characters feel pretty lackluster and confused in their motives. The plot is thick with various levels of plot twists but they all fall flat and have confusing explanations. The whole vibe is fun and the world feels interesting, but you don't really get to see as much of that as you would hope to in a longer Time Princess book. Overall, just super mid.
