Goodreads Synopsis:
Liselotte, the daughter
of a feudal lord, has been exiled by her older brother to the land east
of the east of the east. Despite the bitter past that put her in these
straits, Lise enjoys her new life with her twin attendants, Alto and
Anna, the familiar Yomi, and Eugetsu, a young man who not only harbors a
secret but also bears a striking resemblance to an old acquaintance,
Enrich. However, Lise's quaint idyll is shattered when none other than a
witch comes calling...!
Review:
This is not what I expected.
So. We get to see more of Liselotte trying to be a normal girl,
trying to correctly learn how to farm and clean and cook, trying to
have a good relationship with the delivery men even though they know
what she's done and can't acquaint themselves fully with her. She
even goes in search of the witches, because she's determined to make
nice and not have them haunting or terrorizing her.
We meet a couple witches here, and of course they're more fun than
scary. One guy is a jerk, but the two girls seem very sweet, and
they're really insecure about how scary they are. In the midst of all
this, we get to see some of what Liselotte did. What her life was
like before, and what she did to deserve being banished. I'm still
curious about the whole story, of course.
And then... then we see what is really going on with Engetsu. And I
must say that I was really not expecting this twist. It was not at
all what I was guessing, and now I'm even more intrigued by it. I
really can't wait to read the next one and see what happens with that
cliffhanger.
