Let's start with how I feel about this story! I loved it! It's definitely more chaotic ride then others but that's it's strength. Main plot involves socialising an outcast, lesbian romance, epic battles and final arc of rescuing a loved one from peril.
Now characters:
Rosa is a very interesting protagonist, she is already established Transgender woman for over 4 years. This leads to totally different type of storytelling in comparison to other stories that have coming outs. It's not a disadvantage at all for the story, it's a breath of a freeh air. I wrote about this in one comment, Rosa is a character similar to Catra from She-ra Princesses of power (2018). Both are scarred after emotional and physical abuse, loosing their community and going crazy for violence after such hard life. This story nicely portraits saving such a person from constant wild craving of violence and abuse. Bringing them back into society and founding love and acceptance.
Amelia has much less development since story is short and concise and some story arcs are continued in different series. Even with less development Amelia is a great character, compassionate, flirty, and generally a joy to read about and her thoughts. Final arc of the novel is focused on her, so even if we still don't know some parts of her story it's focus on her in the end makes up for that.
Great amount of recurring characters from other novels from AuthorBun. All of them are a joy to read about them.
This story is shorter then usual stories made by Quiet Valerie, this difference has it problems as we don't get a lot of slice of life romance and fleshing out some plotlines. These problems aren't affecting the review because this story is highly intertwined with stories that QV has here or on her patreon. So this story is being fleshed out in real time with more works.
To summarise, it's a great action adventure with romance as a main point. It's also a set up for many other series produced by the Author.

I love the dynamic between the two main characters, and Rosa's backstory is really heart-rending and well-written. Overall, I think the story is great and definitely worth a read.

A fantastic story that exceeds all expectations. I was excited to read this after trouble with horns, but in my opinion, this improves on trouble in almost every single way. It’s amazing to read and I recommend you pick it up!
