Thank you!! I do appreciate hearing both what you liked and thought could be made better 
it gives me some things to focus on while I'm doing my edits these next few days!!
The marigolds, daisies, and blue star-fruits are one of our first entry points to the story...and I truly did want this story to shine with color ❤️ so you could immediately feel the vibrancy of the skies and the brilliance of how colorful the world was in my own mind ✨
The farm mystery arc was a bit of me going "off-script" when it came to writing it xD I didn't have that really planned out, so the conclusion might've been a bit predictable and underwhelming, but I've accepted that! I think making it someone entirely different would've been cool too -- if I had some more time, I think I'd like to introduce a few more villainous characters, and weave them into the plot with some subtle foreshadowing.
Ahaha yes, the fireball didn't get used much 😅 alas!! I'd hoped to use it in a fight scene against the Duke maybe(?), but the more I wrote the story the more I felt that a fight scene just didn't fit the vibe anymore. So the Fireball spell ended up being used mostly to show that Roki *wasn't* willing to injure Toren, and also as the thing that prompted Roki to ask Claire for fireworks at the festival.
The Champions of the Void though ❤️❤️❤️ I can see why they might be your favorite, because they were absolutely one of my favorite expansions that truly let us see into the godlike-beings overseeing the World Breakers, and reality. Concepts like that will definitely return in my future works, because I'd love to venture into that infinity further!
And thank you again, both for your time and for reading, I truly appreciate it. I hope your move is going well!! (I know it might be underway right now! 😲) So safe travels, and good journeys x)
