Read on J-novel club and then bought because I loved it so much. 5 stars, 10 stars, all the stars! Literally my absolute favorite book this year. Mia is amazing, and so are all the other characters, like Anne, Ludwig, and Abel. Sion and Tiona are fun too. I love the premise, but the real key to the awesomeness of this story is the execution. It's hilarious! Seriously, I love it so much. It's a really entertaining, interesting story, and having read most of book two as well, I can tell you it only gets better as Mia grows more, the cast of characters gets wider, and the plot thickens. This has gone onto my top 10 books - ever. All the stars!

Reread in Japanese Jan 15-July 18, 2021
This took me about 44 hours in total, over about seven months, because it was my first book in Japanese, and I don't have all the common kanji under my belt. That said, it was absolutely worth it! I've read this book about three times in English, and am still reading J-Novel Club's weekly translations of later books in the series because a) the translations are excellent and b) I love Mia! I saw my reading comprehension improve by leaps and bounds through reading this, as well as my kanji retention. Mia's voice is more or less the same in either language, and my appreciation for the translations has increased. I'm planning on rereading book 2 in Japanese soon! 5 stars!
