In terms of plot, not much actually happens in the first volume, but it was still enjoyable overall. I think the strongest point of this volume is the atmosphere, there's always a lingering feeling of suspense. Due to the fantasy setting, it was slightly (but not much) harder for me to read than the well-known slice of life light novel Toradora. Not necessarily harder in terms of vocabulary, but more when it comes to picturing what the world looks like and what's happening exactly.
