Interesting premise

AI narration is a little clunky, but workable and pleasant.
I like the world created here and do want to keep listenig to learn more about it. The magic used in this is very creative. The main characters feel a little flat, however, so I am not wholly invested in following it into book 2. I probably will eventually to see what the sisters and their father do next.
