The bro/sis con is almost too much in this volume, but the ending hooked me and I want to read the next volume, which of COURSE doesn’t exist yet for purchase in the only language I can read. Sigh.

3, I’m chomping at the bit (IYKYK) for the next volume, stars.

Ekaterina needs to learn to manage the company she just bought (hoping to give her brother a nice glass pen as a gift). But the pens prove surprisingly popular, and now she's got to work out the logistics of it all. With a summer trip home she's hoping there will be plenty of time to deal with everything and hang out with her brother, but there's always something unexpected cropping up...

These books are basically just nice, light fun. Ekaterina is slowly building her reverse harem without knowing it, but her own mind and heart are still fixated on just one person: her brother. This time around, the trip home leads her to discover more of the family history and how her current relatives fit in.

If you enjoyed the first two, this one doesn't change things up much. Ekaterina is so stuck on seeing her brother as her favorite character that it can make her rather unhinged, but it mostly manifests as a steadfast loyalty and helping hand that her brother really appreciates. Recommended.

Our villainess and her brother return to their domain for the summer going into the mess their father left after his death, some of which came to haunt them during this visit as well. Entertaining enough read with likeable characters as always even if Ekaterina takes a bit of a passive role in this volume and the fan girling over her favorite characters does take a more prominent role than usual. I am curious in a morbid kind of way how far the author is going to take this...

Alright, but a little lacking

Rina's internal mental gymnastics is still entertaining, but she's more passive in this volume.

I'm not too fond of how the world building and back story parts are ranty and so heavy that they unbalance the story that's currently taking place.

The story mostly continues to be a slow burn, with nice moments, but the only significant moment is after the banquet, and Ekaterina has no involvement in that scene.

I love this series!

I absolutely love this entire series. The fmc is wonderful because she is so intelligent and compassionate. I adore her brother! I really want this series to become a why choose/ reverse harem relationship model (that includes her brother first and foremost) but if not then the fmc must please please please stay with her brother. I want them to fall in love so bad! They are just perfect together.

Entertaining enough to read, but their mutual adoration is so over the top that it’s very weird. All the villains are caricatures, unable to do more than scream and cause a futile fuss to get their way. The grandma was just psycho.

I’m going to guess two demonic horses are going to be given to them.

It took me so long to get into this book. Once they got to the main residence, I was more engaged with the story, but the very beginning just dragged for me.

this volume is where the real plot starts
