And, this is only about 11% into the book.īefore we have even begun to catch our breathe, Tanya has stolen the feather back and immediately gets the hang of how to use the feather’s magic. Not a few moments later, she discovers a magical feather in the company’s possession and a couple of beats later, a thief has stolen it.
