Story

Annabelle's Bastion is still in its kind of early stages but what's been released so far has been great.  Some setup has been done for some races, organizations and factions, enough to make the world feel larger and give the reader a general understanding of where the various groups stand but nothing too in depth yet.

The story begins with a somehow basic magic school premise where the main character Annabelle (and reader) is introduced to the basics of the world and power system. The author makes sure that things don't get repetitive/ predictable with the magic school / lessons.

The main character has some clearly defined goals and there's enough mystery to keep the reader invested in what comes next.

The power/ magic system of the book is interesting and has been pretty well explored so far. It's easy to understand with some defined limits but still a lot of potential for interesting things.

Character

The MC Annabelle is great so far. She's kind but isn't a pushover, has interesting dynamics and interaction with the other characters especially Aria and

. Her power set so far is also pretty cool, not immediately powerful but it's flexible with a lot of room for growth.

Aria is the main supporting character and 

She's calmer and more pragmatic than Annabelle but her POV chapters do a lot to show how she feels on the inside. Aria's abilities are interesting and distinct enough from Annabelle's. Her backstory is mysterious and has enough going on that I could see her being the MC of her own book.

The other supporting characters are good enough

and will most likely be expanded on as the story goes on.

Style

Writing flows well and is easy to understand.

Grammar

Grammar is good. No major errors and I don't remember any typos.

Overall, I've been enjoying this story so far and I'd recommend other readers try it out.
