I was supposed to be re-reading it, but it felt like a first read all along. Firstly because I had no recollection of the story—okay, I had some, but only the basics—, and secondly because I enjoyed it so much more this time around!

Só não fica com avaliação máxima devido à velocidade da narrativa que aumenta quando do enlace da protagonista com o Urso de Armadura.

The plot was nice despite lacking an obvious motivation until the very end (when some secrets were revealed) and then, it was not very impressive anyway.
