This short story is apparently an introduction to a larger work.  It doesn't stand well at all by itself.Multiple characters are introduced and the author doesn't do a good job of connecting us to them.  Too much magical back story is jammed into awkward exposition.  If the plot description intrigues you, I'd recommend looking for the longer work (I haven't read it) - the author may do a better job of putting everything together in that.
