Nobility near and far have heard tale of the little girl with unusual stores of magic who refuses to behave. But the brilliant librarian-to-be has plenty of enemies as well.ĪSCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM #7 brings to light an extensive and far-reaching scheme to bring the commoner apprentice shrine maiden to heel. She has allies in the High Priest, Benno, her family, and elsewhere.
Little Myne is doing everything she can to keep her head up and her eyes forward as the number of challenges bloom and multiply. The shortest but most dramatic volume of the novel series thus far, ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM #7 sets into motion several converging elements: Myne's final puzzle piece of printmaking, an anonymous outside threat to Myne's entourage, and a known internal threat to the temple's stability. I have high hopes in our new protagonist Rozemyne! Glad to know we will keep learning about the temple even though Myne's position has changed enourmosly. That makes some sense as I think volume 2.3 got my hopes too high. I was hoping to see more action and some facts being revealed but I guess I'll have to wait for the third arc to find out more character backgraunds. To tell you the truth, this one was more of a conclusion to the Apprentice of Shrine Maiden arc than a proper continuation to the 3 previous volumes. Like, I am told Myne doesn't find out about what happend with Arno but I would like that she finds out about Margaret and supports Fran as he deserves. I wish Fran would have more relevance in the 3rd arc, but I doubt it. Then again, I really enjoyed Sylvester's POV as well as Frieda's and I REALLY REALLY liked Fran and Arno's chapters. I was expecting more of him, but that may be my bad. I am not quite satisfied with the High Bishop as a villain, he was pathetic in his intents. UPDATE: I read the side stories two days ago and I actually think they improve the overall narrative of the volume.
