Writing Workshop discussion

This is a story I began toward the beginning of quarantine in 2020. It is a YA fantasy novel told from the 1st-person perspectives of four characters. All of these scenes are still works in progress.

In order of first appearance:

Izara: A village girl with chronic pain who has the ability to heal others

Amira: A girl who lives in the palace who enjoys sneaking out at night to protect the villagers

Kadiri: A boy who wishes to be a member of the King's Guard

Kalil: Amira's older brother who is hated by the king (for some mysterious reason XD)

It takes place in Castesia, a world divided by six kingdoms: Alcala, Athol, Elyria, Ephrata, Havelock, and Ocona

Izara, Amira, Kadiri, and Kalil all live in Elyria.

TW: this story includes chronic pain (obviously), child abuse (physical and emotional), brief mentions of assault, violence (not gore), fantasy illnesses that mimic mental illness (I can't use the terms c-PTSD, anxiety, or depression in a fantasy novel), and torture

I currently only have 9 chapters that are completely written and edited to my current liking, though I am working on more.

This is a short story I wrote last year based on a Philadelphian urban legend.

TW: this story includes disability, a car accident, a brief mention of a suspected suicide (no attempt or explicit ideation is included, nor is an actual death), a brief mention of assault, a brief mention of a plane crash, a brief mention of cancer, and a brief mention of childhood abuse
