Review:
The
first part of this volume concludes the cat story. It’s sad and a
little horrifying and it exhausts Chise’s power supply. Which leads
to us meeting the faerie queen and king, which is quite comedic and
sure to lead to something later on. There’s a bit of calm, with
Chise settling into her new home, and then she goes on another job
with Elias, and comes another cliffhanger.
I’m
enjoying Chise’s character, and I like seeing how she’s getting used
to her new home and family. She’s never had anyone be so nice to
her as Elias, and it takes some getting used to, but she's growing
attached to him. There’s also more chemistry between her and Elias
forming; before, it seemed more fatherly, but there were actual
romantic attachments between them in this volume, even if nothing’s
happened yet. Given that she’s supposed to be his bride at some
point, this is a nice development.
We’re
also learning with Chise what her magic is doing to her, and what it
could lead to in the long run.
This
is a slow, subtle series. Small moments of development and humor, a
lot of different characters and creatures introduced. I’m enjoying
it so far.
