Goodreads Synopsis:
Looking to deliver a
letter from the Witch of the Forest of Illusions, Satou and his party
decide to visit the village of the forest giants. He soon finds the
villagers are still recovering from hydra attacks, including three
children who were poisoned by the hydra's toxic breath. As Satou gets to
work on brewing an antidote, Karina ponders how she can enlist the
giants' assistance in ridding her hometown of the demonic presence that
plagues it...
Review:
Satou and his harem group are joined by Karina as
this volume starts. She's welcomed in relatively comfortably, aside
from a bit of jealousy for her big breasts. She has a brooch that
talks to her, and has a bad rep because of her family. They all
continue along their journey, meeting new people and helping out
different towns and peoples.
This book was terribly boring to me. There isn't a whole lot of
action or showing happening, instead we're just informed with lots of
text what is happening, the politics of the matter, how Satou knows
things and what he's doing to fix all of these problems. If you're a
big fan of high fantasy, this might be interesting. I am not, so this
was very much not for me.
I also didn't really care for the characters, and Satou's “children”
who are all relatively in love with him was a little uncomfortable to
me, plus how Karina is portrayed because of her figure. Even the
interactions between Satou and Karina felt rather one-dimensional to
me.
I was not a fan, but this was not for me.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, Yen Press, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
