Notes: Let me start of by saying I love all the magical elements in this story. The creatures, the spells, the powers... I can clearly see you took inspiration from legends and mythology, and you've woven everything together beautifully. I can't immediately think of another work of fiction (book of TV series/movie) that has a similar premise, so kudos on the originality.

I enjoy the mystery you keep up on Celandine's true nature – though I suspect I know, as you give several clues throughout the story for the observant reader – and on those deaths as well. It gives a bit of a detective vibe, even though it's not really that kind of story imo.
Your main characters are well crafted and intriguing. I'm curious to see how Celandine and Leoftan - great choices on the names, too, btw, they're very original and fun – will move forward and if they'll work together on what's happening. As far as development goes, I keep in mind that the story is still ongoing, and I've read early stage chapters, but they are well-fleshed out. I get a clear reading on both mains, despite there yet being a bit of mystery as well.
My sole remark on this story is that, grammar wise, it could use a little sprucing. Not on vocabulary or dialogue, though. The text itself reads smoothly and invites to read. But, you do have some errors in punctuation - ?". for example, and missing commas – and no capital letters when starting new sentences (not too many, though). All you need is an editing round to clear this up, and then you'll be set.
I see a great paranormal/fantasy story here, and expect it to become a thrilling adventure for both the characters and the readers.
