This novelette has been on my TBR for a while, and I'm glad I've finally gotten around to reading it. Nata is an awesome protagonist who showed so much character development in such a short work. I very much liked how her blindness was slowly revealed to the reader and overall how it was treated. It's awesome to see a disabled protagonist who's so cool and capable. I also really liked Bara, even though there was so little of them in the story.
The one small flaw for me was the pacing: the story starts slow-ish as it paints the stage, then becomes very fast-paced from the very next scene, and the contrast threw me off a little. Perhaps it's the kind of story that could benefit from being expanded into a full novella. I still enjoyed it a lot, though, and I'll check out this author's other works in the future!
