The story was digestible for beginners since it's a lot of disconnected anecdotes as the prince travels around. I will say it was kind of annoying that so much kanji is omitted, as it actually makes it harder to read/distinguish vocabulary, so I'm looking forward to reading something a little higher level after this. But that being said, there's a nice mix of grammar in here and it's a cute story. And definitely doable for a first time long-form read.
