Over the eastern mountains! Lately, Sara’s life has been going swimmingly! She’s been enjoying her time in Hydrangea with Nelly and her friends, with no pesky requests from the capital to deal with. However, all this changes when a pair of letters arrive at the Wolverié household from Nelly’s sister Latifah, the wife of a lord in the lands to the east. One letter requests Nelly’s presence, and the other, Sara’s—as it turns out, there’s a new Invited staying with Latifah’s family, and this Invited needs Sara’s help! And so, Sara and the gang head east, planning to take care of an infestation of green grass locusts while they’re there. Will this journey finally be the thing to shake up Sara’s quiet life for good?
Sara and Nelly are asked to join Nelly's sister at the other side of the mountain. Sara to deal with a new Invited, a young girl, and Nelly both for a family visit and to get rid of a giant locust infestation. During their stay both learn a new thing or two, both about themselves and others.
Volume 7 is much like other parts of the series, a fun and light-hearted read with a simple plot and little real trouble overcoming the challenges on her path. It does show the growth of Sara and the people around her which added some depth to the characters and world. I like it when the isekai part is more than just an excuse to have an OP main character who is more mature than similarly aged kids.
So, an enjoyable read for me, and good addition to the series.
It's just as cosy and chill as ever and I love that. I do find it frustrating the way Sara won't push back against people who walk all over her, but I do understand that's part of her character. Also I know our opinion of Liam is trying to be improved, and I'm not saying he's not growing as a person, but I would like for him to stop appearing in every book. He just annoys me, and Sara's casual treatment of him annoys me too. That said, I still can't wait for the next release.
