X-Men meets Dumbledore-ish
Heart warming story about a bureaucrat who had to leave his small bubble to investigate a top secret orphanage, in a world that knows and hates those who are different.
Loved the narrative and the characters, I only think that scenes towards the middle-3/4s could have had more tension or been more significant.
Other than that, it’s a lovely story.
