Goodreads Synopsis:
Despite being completely
hopeless at endeavors like farming and cooking, Liselotte, a young lady
of noble birth and guardian to twins Alto and Anna, picks up and moves
to a remote land. At the easternmost reaches of her new home lies a
forest where it's said witches roam. When Lise one day finds herself at
the receiving end of an attack by one such witch, she's saved by the
sudden appearance of a young man named Engetsu. Though they're
strangers, Engetsu is remarkably similar to someone she already
knows...?
Review:
This is a very intriguing start to a series.
Liselotte has been shipped out of her rich family's home, and now
lives in a forest, with two kids as her caretakers. She's
optimistically doing all she can to learn how to farm and scavenge,
even when she's not particularly good at any of these things.
And then she learns of the witch myths regarding the forest they live
in. And suddenly, there's a man named Engetsu there to help her, and
Liselotte believes she knows him from before everything happened. It's clear, though,
that he's up to something, and that he knows more than he's letting
on.
We get a few hints, but this is definitely setting up for something
more. Not giving any answers, but it's a good start. I love the
artwork, and I'm happy to be reading a new Takaya book.
I'm looking forward to the next one.
