- charming writing styles, flows well, like a breeze in the afternoon twirling leaves to a dance - apt display of cultural formalities and bureaucracy - bit sparse on the character building, sisters seem more atmosphere than person - slight inconsistencies in "wiggins" or "wiggens", sending sisters out to play, awaken a few hours later (pray, how have the sisters kept themselves busy?) - exactly one choice of who to talk to during the grand outing, without much éclat at that. - has a lot of cliffhang...
