Familiar Diversions
I'm a librarian who loves anime, manga, and reading a wide variety of genres.
Currently reading
Reading progress update: I've read 333 out of 428 pages.
I'm now done with the main story and all that's left is the bonus short stories. Instead of two, like in the previous volumes, this one has six.
This could have been the best book in the series so far. There were fewer of the overly detailed "figuring out how to make products from our world in a fantasy world" scenes, and more of a focus on the characters and their relationships, what's going on in the wider world, and moving Myne beyond her primary goal, getting her hands on some books. Unfortunately, the overall story lacked focus and the scenes that should have been emotional were painfully badly written.
I'm leaning towards 2.5 stars at the moment, the lowest rating I've given for volumes in this series. The bonus short stories might kick that down to 2 stars or up to 3. Here's hoping there's nothing as bad as Corinna's story in the previous volume.
