ruthelibrarian's review against another edition
5.0
As a teen librarian, I highly recommend this for purchase. It is a gentle read, though it features brief mentions of being executed -- I know, seems brutal, but that's more of a backdrop than something gruesomely depicted.
This book features a princess who was executed and somehow sent back into the past with her memories intact. She has a chance to change her future. Despite the grim beginnings, this story is mostly fluffy, fun, and sweet. The translation for this book is one of the best I've read so far for light novels.
As I was reading this, I could picture scenes of this like it was an anime. Then I looked it up. Apparently TODAY it was announced as an upcoming show in 2023. Nice.

This book was really fun and engaging. I got hooked on the story and the prose was hilariously mean about the protagonist.

To be honest, there's not much to say except to read and witness for yourself.
This novel is nothing completely new, groundbreaking, or revolutionary in the genre. In fact, it is much more fitting to say that it is JUST like every other transmigration novel in a way that it contains the fundamental plot points and tropes that the common fantasy Japanese light novel share, however, it gets bonus points for actually capturing the humor that these types of novels should have.
Manages to make the narration and the play of events very silly. Light, entertaining, and overall an extremely promising read - will definitely be checking out the other volumes.

Misunderstandings used in stories is not my favourite trope, but the misunderstandings here MAKE the story. The fact that everyone, EVERYONE, continues to misunderstand each other's motives and desires leading to a better future than the first one Mia experienced is PRICELESS! It's so good and the writing elevates it to new levels. The witty remarks in the narration that acknowledges how everyone's thought process is making them all a little deluded is fantastic! And the characters, although greatly flawed, are so sweet that you want them all to succeed. Fantastic story and I can't wait to see how it progresses (especially Abel and Mia's relationship; they're so adorable together and I can see so many amazing ways their relationship could progress)! Looking forward to the release of volume 2!

I REALLY wanted to like this book, which, I did!
BUUUUT
Mochitsuki feels like she force feeds you/spoon feeds you at the same time if that makes sense. None of the information we're given feels earned and everything is expositioned and hammered into your head until you're bleeding on the floor being force-fed even more until you understand that MIA HATES THE GUILLOTINE
I get it girl, but you don't need to repeat that over 10 other POVs
Also, the chapters were a bit too short, and didn't feel like a lot was happening to the point, that when I did finish a chapter, it didn't feel earned.
The pairing that is happening is something I'm rooting for though, so points for that. This series shines on several uses of clever writing, short chapters (for those that want it), and having everything explained with nothing left hanging (which again, can be seen as a highlight for some)
Read this if you haven't read in a long time and need the easiest read you can possibly imagine
