“Some lovely ideas — setting that involves silent films; MC’s subtle ‘superpower’; small, inconspicuous ways to make the world a better place — which however fell a little flat for me. I think it could’ve used more of an emotional punch, or maybe a more magical, dreamy atmosphere perhaps; in short, some sort of spice. It also doesn’t help that the amazingly cool cover lowkey hints at action (or is that just me??) but the narrative isn’t about that at all.”
