Once upon a time, there lived a king and queen who insisted there was absolutely no possible way they were falling in love… Now that Verite has been introduced to the rest of the Freidkin family, he’s got his hands full! He and Blanche have become fast friends, but the glass between them serves as a painful reminder of what his limitations are. Meanwhile, the whole palace is buzzing with excitement about the king and queen’s improved relationship—well, everyone except the couple themselves! As both Abigail and Sabrian struggle with their own burgeoning feelings, the two turn to their resident magic mirror for help. Will Verite’s efforts be enough to keep the couple together, or will their fear and lack of communication tear them apart?

Raven needs to GO. Not my fav. I can’t wait to see Sable hug Bibi!

And poor Veritas. I hope he gets free of the mirror by the end of this storyline. Maybe he’s been cursed and Bibi will free him? Time will tell!

4, anxiously awaiting the next one, stars.

I'm so upset because I was spoiled for this series, and while I usually have no issues with manhwa spoilers, as I have looked them up for almost every manhwa I've read, this spoiler really upset me. I don't know what volume it happens in, but it makes me upset because this volume was VERY good and I absolutely loved it! The whole thing was smart and funny with the whole hug thing, Abigail discovering things about herself, and of course, the cute moments with sweet Blanche!

I think the world is expanding and definitely here for that, but for now, I'm going to put this series on pause.

Mm, not my favourite volume but that is because Verite gets way too much time and I don't like him and then there is Raven who is ewwww and then there is the whole Abigail needs to get more confidence and Sabrian needs to stop being jelly/being weird about things (they need to talk asap). I did like Blanch and Abigail together, I love seeing Abigail discover magic (but of course it is that kind of magic), I had a laugh at how Sabrian couldn't sleep + was exercising something fierce, and the art is pretty. Oh, and the hugathon was cute but I wish he would just hug Abigail. For now this one will be on hold, I am just not in the mood for it.

Nice little surprise this morning to have this waiting on the kindle. I like Verite and Blanche's friendship. Curious what exactly he is given the other mirror. The magic tower magician was embarrassing. Don't like Raven, he seems to be waiting to swoop down and destroy everything. The Sable hug-a-thon was funny, although not sure what the look on his face when he was hugging at the end was about. Sable and Abigail really need to sit down and talk. The miscommunication is starting to bug me.

I feel sorry for Verite, but at least he has Blanche to talk with now as well. Not sure what's going on with Raven, seems sinister. Also, Sabrian casually hugging everyone was pretty hilarious. I'm not sure how I feel about Abigail having mana? Seemed a bit odd, and like something that could have been foreshadowed a bit better - maybe it was, I'm not sure. The edgelord (edgelady?) of the magical institute was glorious, hopefully we get to see her again at some point!

Vertias still seems lonely, or at least more aware of it, but also seems to now be good friends with Blanche and at least useful to Sabrian. Sabrian seems very confused and desperate at the moment, which probably is not helped with Raven's antics. Abigail herself is also struggling, both with her newfound abilities and her emotions as she seems to both hope and try not to hope at the same time for a better future. It seems in the midst of this she's aware of her own emotions while also trying not to admit them as she thinks it would be hopeless. Veritas is trying to help, but he may have unintentionally made things worse the way Sabrian tends to take things given the way he's acting now. The end of the book hints at something positive coming in the next volume, though it'll be awhile before it comes out to see how things are going. We do get a new character as well, and this new mage seems to adore Blanche. Add to that the tea party with Karen and things remain rather interesting and confused all over the place with all of these characters.

It seems like so many things happened in Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom Volume 6 starting with the beautifully illustrated cover featuring my favorite character Verite. First of all, Abigail and Blanche take a trip down to the Palace Magicians’ Research Hall to refill the cleaner from Raven and wouldn’t you know it, Raven just so happened to be there at the same time. Hmmm….. Verite gets closer to Sabrian, starts to train Abigail with her magical abilities, and also gets closer to Blanche. Sabrian and Abigail continue to wonder how the other one feels towards each other which is a bit frustrating because it’s plain for all to see that they belong together. Ugh!!!

This is a very cute silly read, it has its moments of conflict but all in all its a little cringy and cute at times. How the volume ended has me giggling because you can tell that the king is truly trying to learn. He is solving his issues very mechanically which in turn is freaking everyone else out. Hopefully in the next volume, he is able to figure out the situation emotionally. I recommend for a quick read and if you do not mind cringe.

This series is indeed a very addictive in nature. I am enjoying the characters both growth and interactions. As I have continued to binge read this series, I have come to love the ups and downs of it. The Freidkin family definitely has introduced a lot...lot of drama. This book feels fast paced and is heavily addictive. I must say I love the shocked faces throughout the book really catch the moments.

Raven is circling around Abigail like a vulture,and she senses his intentions might be less than pure. He background seems confusing and we see him spying on her.

On the other side,Abigail is getting closer with Sabrian and she discovers that she possesses a rare form of magic.

We see her brother visiting in the end.

Very quickly I realised that I didn’t like Vol 6 as much as I had enjoyed Vol 5, perhaps because of the increase in the magic in this story but I can’t conform that that is the reason. I will say though I am liking the friendship that’s blooming between Abigail & Karen.

4.9/5 stars. Finally some plot progress.

Will we finally see our Queen Abigail use magic? And what is Raven’s motive really?

I still love this series, but at this point there are a few too many anvils dangling over the happy little family's heads. At least one of them just needs to fall already.

Read more graphic novel reviews at The Graphic Library.

More elements of the Snow White tale, along with other classic fairy tale tropes, have come into play here, which was a nice reminder that this story is ultimately a retelling. The last few volumes have focused more on the relationships between the characters and less on the fairy tales, so the tropes didn't feel overplayed. There is also a touching moment with Abigail where we get another look at her past life that reinforces some of the painful things we already knew. , The scenes will resonate with readers as Abigail works through her doubt and self-worth.

Sara's Rating: 9/10
