Pretty awesome how a story under 200 pages could encompass the cycle of love, loss, and starting anew.

Also making the rocs be captive animals who will still respond to their natural desires over that of the human training is so good. There's something about breaking the trope of person with mystic/fantastic animal creates an unbreakable bond and live happily ever after that I both love and hurts me right in my girlhood dreams. HAHA
