I loved the poetry in this prose. The way the codex is described is great. Like the line "It cannot die, but it can be forgotten. And when it is forgotten, the world loses shape." really struck me.
I think the tension between what Leona wants to keep hidden vs Alyse and the narrator are trying to uncover is good.
(Obvious to me at this point that the Queen is the magic that was hidden from the world - but I could be mistaken).
