Very unexpected meet up with 'Light Novel' - which is a Japanese story for YA, up to cca 50 000 words, which is as well translated to English and contain story and several illustrations to support the text... That's for introduction :)

In all honesty does remind me of all manga stories, SailorMoon saga, anime and I've realised film Howl's Moving Castle by Mr Hayao Miyazaki... Yep, I needed some pick me up time and this fulfilled the role splendidly.
