There's some nice internalization going on. I personally would like to see a little more setting, but this is really cool.

I'm very curious about how she'll grow her magic without being able to use it. It seems hopeless and yet there's a tiny bit of hope. Well done! Thanks for sharing!Katrina L.

We get a decent sense of so many things, such as her social status and the way things work in her world. I especially like the tension when she gets forced off the rail.
