Hurting for Sophie right now. No matter how mature she appears the Elves need to remember she's only a child still.

Off all the dumbass things to get in trouble for. How the fuck was Sophie supposed to know that rule?

Apparently cryokinesis is "useless"? And pyrokinesis is forbidden? So far not bad but this worls has odd rules.

I appreciate Sophie having absolutely no goddamned patience for how clueless the Elves are about grief and death. It's frankly refreshing. I can't count how many MC's I've read who just can't even begin to fathom death like it never happens.

Despite some minor world building objections, I do still enjoy this. Prodigy New Kid at a fancy Boarding School (tm) is a favorite trope of mine.

So I know the idea is to portray Elves as *above* humans but preserving now extinct carnivorous species and training them to be vegetarians is the height of arrogance. By assuming you know better than the nature you're trying to "save". Also, humans have known most Dinosaurs had feathers for decades y'all.

Perhaps my mood is a little better, but I'm actually enjoying this, this time.
