I have mixed feelings. I want to like it. I like the idea of this story, but everything is so goddamn convenient. A magic back pack, a magic canteen, a magic bathroom, a magic rock, magic spells and potions for everything. Shade doesn't have to work for a single thing. It's all just handed to her. There's no hardship, no treacherous journey. It's really just a walk through the park with some friends.

The love interest is obvious. The dialogue is unrealistic. There are too many characters too follow too soon. No one has any good development. And Shade is a dumbass. Seriously.

DON'T FOLLOW STRANGERS INTO THE WOODS!

Gah. I just want it to be a nice adventure story with magic and monsters and a cute boy. It's not that hard.
