Starting to not like the second Prince in this one. He’s too cold, too clinical and I don’t like it. It’s a delicate balance to show his warmth/humanity and his necessary divorce from his feelings due to the situation he is in due to his grandfather, who is just pure evil as far as I am concerned. He can go for a long walk off a short pier.

I ship her with Cyril tbh. He’s not aware of his feelings, but at least he’s genuine. I have a bad feeling that ship of mine is going to sink though. Sigh.

Some major revelations in this one and they should have been obvious, the signs were there, so it’s not like a mystery where the reader had no hope of figuring it out. I was just so along for the ride, I didn’t ask myself any questions. I’m not sad though, this is so well crafted and thought out, I’m really enjoying it!

4, would have been five but the Prince got on my bad side, stars.

How does this series keep getting better and better??

With each volume, I get even more attached to the characters and more embroiled in the politically and magically charged world of the series!

But...after this...I'll just have one more volume to read since the rest haven't been translated yet...What the hell am I supposed to cling on to?!

This volume, and this series, are simply fantastic. The way each volume keeps upping the ante and outdoing the one before it is incredible, and it was bomb shell after bomb shell drop in this one in particular. I love how pieces I didn’t even realize have significance keep re-emerging in unique ways and connecting pieces of the puzzle in unexpected ways. We get a lot more insight into Felix’ mindset and goals in this one, tho still not everything, and the way he completely fanboys over meeting his idol is hilarious and really sweet. The continued agony of Eliane getting thwarted by a completely dense Glenn is also really done and adds a layer of reprieve to heavier scenes. Once again the balance of plot reveals, humorous scenes, and character developments is really well done, and I can’t wait for the next volume to be released.

Great update to one of my favourite series! There’s a big revelation in this volume that I really enjoyed. (More than one, actually!)

[Spoilers on the last paragraph]

This is probably my most fave volume so far! Monica acting as her true self during the Winter Break Arc was a breath of fresh air. Here, she could be the Silent Witch and show her beautiful, scary powers for all of the duchy to behold hahaha! It hinted more of Felix’s secret and I have a feeling all will be revealed in the next volume… I just want him to know that Monica Norton is the Silent Witch and read how he loses his mind with the revelation 🤣

I’ve been reading that there will be no romance in the main story (I think there’s a sequel already?). And the most popular ship right now is Monica and Cyril. But… I really can’t help rooting for Felix lol. He might be introduced as a typical male lead with the blond hair and gorgeous blue eyes. But this light novel made him more nuanced and intriguing. His POVs gave him more depth and he’s always so genuine when he’s pretending to be Ike or fanboying over the Silent Witch 🥹 So basically, I just want the prince to be happy, especially now it is being hinted why he’s cozying up with the weird, but very very powerful characters. The fact that the duke was collecting those shady villains too just to have full control over Felix? Shudders… protect the prince at all cost!

Lastly—and here’s the main spoiler now—I was laughing so much when Nero turned out to be THE freaking black dragon because I KNEW IT!!! The author has hinted it so much from the start too with his name and all 😂 Nero was too much of a menace to just be a simple shapeshifting cat. It makes me feel wonderfully validated to know that I was right hahahah! On to volume

After the supplementary volume that was 4.5, this was more tense and hence more enjoyable for me.

Monica in this story is mostly about her sage duties, which was far more interesting to witness instead of her Serendia Academy life. We finally get to see Monica perform her magic without needing to hide the fact that she's performing them. (Although she still has to hide her identity, but still!!! Seeing her be so flashy with her magic is very satisfying!!!! Let people awe at her genius!!!)

And towards the end we finally get to witness more of Monica's backstory, seeing her transform into a purposeful young lady made me feel so proud as I've been following this light novel from the early days.

I can't wait for the next volume.

[Callie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series with my whole heart. Monica is absolutely the most adorable heroine ever, and so easy to root for. The way she still struggles with her anxiety yet tries so hard to overcome it, bit by bit, every single day, makes me want to wrap her up in my arms and swing her around in an enormous hug.

Felix was also adorable in this. He’s such a not-so-secret Silent Witch fanboy that it makes every interaction he has with Monica sweet and hilarious to read about. Plus, Nero has always been my favorite, and I cackled even more with his role here.

Another fantastic installment! Now please excuse me while I speed off to read the next one.

Okay, when I thought Silent Witch would be guarding Prince Felix, I assumed she’d try to keep her identity hidden. But by the end of it, I was sure the big reveal was coming—that Silent Witch is actually Monica! But it hasn’t happened yet.

I can’t wait for the moment when Prince Felix realizes the mysterious witch he admires and has a crush on is actually the Student Council’s accountant… Monica, the same girl he treated like a pet and called his little squirrel. 😂

I’m eagerly waiting for the reactions—especially from Prince Felix and Cyril. The suspense is killing me!

[Amrusha Saha · Rating 4 out of 5]

I went in thinking there would be so much more Felix x Monica interactions. Instead, Monica came out doubting him while Felix came out getting more obsessed. However, I enjoyed it plenty (had to grit my teeth through Elaine and Bridget gripping for Felix. Brownie points for Elaine to get over that).

Nero/Bartholomew constantly hearing about Monika being amazing for slaying the black dragon

I flew through this one!

The twists! The turns! The magic! I flew through this book at the speed of wind. It was such a delightful read with some fun surprises! Some answers, more questions, and the character growth were all brilliant! I can’t wait for the next one!

[Jane Lebak · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wasn't sure how well the next arc would be because the previous felt like it was closed off, but we've got a LOT of other intriguing complications going on now. Trying to get my hands on the next book...

[Mark Santi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nero is what.....

[Laney · Rating 5 out of 5]

I honestly can’t get enough of this series i genuinely have read all 5 in a week the story rewards you for predicting things then gives you new things to think about

[_Hinoiri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Best one so far

[Stefany Barrero González · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the series

I love this series. I seriously can't wait to see how the story will end. I love Monica and how much she has grown.

[Mathxxl]

C'est un tome assez chouette, avec notamment pas mal de focus sur Nero et du pétage de dragon. L'histoire commence à véritablement poser ses pions, c'est sympa. Et comme toujours Monica bébou.

[zoey]

Absolutely gagged at the reveal!

[jigglypat · Rating 5 out of 5]

will def name my next cat, nero 😭🫶🏻

[Rynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was always curious about Nero. He was too much of a gremlin/menace to be a normal familiar... but I certainly was not expecting him to be the freakin black dragon, lool.

[Arianna Tarantino · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me estás diciendo que NERO ES UN DRAGÓN NEGRO ¿y yo no sospeché absolutamente nada? carajo
Shipeo totalmente a Mónica con Félix, pero ese esconde muchos secretos, no sé si es bueno o es malo

[Sarie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the few books in the series I wish to be animated soon! It's action packed and full of interesting scenes I want to see animated. I love how we're slowly reaching the climax!

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

The level of stress while reading and hoping she doesn’t get caught…

[Kimberley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Exciting things are happening.

[pamela · Rating 4 out of 5]

one thing i’ve been curious about ever since i’ve read the spoilers in wiki: how did nero and monica met and made a contract and that was it. i really do enjoy this series so much.

[An · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yet another marvelously comfortable yet exhilarating read. Some of the scenes in this volumes are pure aura, hopefully I'll get to see the animated version one day!

[Aywiiissh · Rating 5 out of 5]

love that monica as one of the sages finally had an interaction with her number one fan, the second prince

[Mau Pérez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me entretuvo mucho, después de tener un bloqueo con el 4.5. Al fiiiiin me contaron la historia de Nero y, aún te quería saber más, estoy satisfecha…. Por ahora

[Abbie · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Alarna · Rating 5 out of 5]
