I don't have a problem with her being able to invent many popular things or that she is loved by many people, my problem is shoving the idea that she too good and all what she wants is making everyone's life better. She is a toolmaker and a chairwoman of a company, this means MONEY is important for everyone to do their job, but here she is thinking of only helping others and giving up money. I just don't like how she doesn't care about making a steady income all bc she is way too perfect and good. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy reading about Dahlia, but this is something that keeps bothering me in every volume.

This was a fun volume. There still isn't much on the romance front but our main pair are still as close as ever. I see a little light at the end of that tunnel so my impatient heart is appeased a little. Dahlia is starting to get more acclaim for her magical tools and her relationship with the Order of the Beast Hunters is getting closer than ever. She's gaining more and more worshipers admirers but is also starting to draw the eyes of some unsavory characters. She has to bring a little of her fighting spirit in order to get what she wants.

Two characters I especially enjoyed in this volume are Gildo and Garto, the head of the palace Treasury and the leader of the Order of the Beast Hunters. Their long back story came as a surprise. I wasn't expecting their relationship to go so deeply. However, their moments in the book were very sweet and heartwarming. Garto has already been part of the story for a while but I think Gildo will be one of Dahlia's strongest supporters henceforth. I'm looking forward to seeing how he
exerts the full force of his connections to support Dahlia

Growing pains

This story just keeps giving more character fulfillment! More background keeps giving them the depth of real people, with struggles and regrets. The glowing moments of joy portray how necessary comfort and care are toward even those fictitious humans who live their lives out only on these pages. I really cannot understand those who decided to give a low rating. This book isn't mearly a fantasy story but a work documenting the fictional rise of a company, the growth of its related people, and its impact on that world. If you want epic battles and over the top romance, maybe try a story about those things.

A little less o sensed with alcohol in this one, but they do still drink like fish.

I like that Dahlia is a good person who cares more about people than about status or money. She does have Ivano there to make sure she makes enough money to stay afloat.

They’re clearly headed towards a romance with Volf, but it’s still showing that mixed genders can still be good friends. I like that as a message.

Dahlia's life of crafting items, enjoying good food and drinks, fun time with friends and potential romantic interest and high stake negotiations with the knight orders at the royal castle continue. Much like earlier volumes is a slow paced slice-of-life with little to no action and a bit of romance in between the food, item research and light-hearted political plotting. While I like these kind of stories as earlier there are times that the amount of attention paid to food and drinks is getting a bit too much. Still, Dahlia is making progress in all aspects of her life, resulting in an entertaining light-hearted read.

[My · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely better than the last book imho, and I really appreciated another chapter dedicated to Carlos' perspective.

But while I enjoyed this book better than the previous one, I think the storyline is getting a bit repetitive: Dahlia invents thing, thing gets marketed to Volf's Order (again), Dahlia is naive about business (again), third parties are out of line over Dahlia being a woman (twice in the same book!), and then it all works out somehow in the end. Rinse and repeat.

While I'm glad to see more interactions by way of her friends and allies, I would want to see Dahlia actually interact with customers who aren't just Volf and his fellow knights. The scope is pretty exclusive so far, and I would welcome some variety. I hope to see a deviation from what is looking to be the norm in the next volume.

Un poco más lento, la primera mitad y el último libro pareció estancarse en sólo el día a día sin nada que hiciera avanzar la historia, sin embargo en este tomo hay nuevos inventos, y nuevas metas. Al final incluso hay la promesa de un adversario definitivo.

Volf y Dahlia siguen sin luces de adonde van, sin embargo el cariño sigue creciendo entre ellos. Esto tiene un lapso de mes y medio como mucho y ya hay demasiadas palabras.

Creo que me gustaría que avanzara un poco

Although I’m enjoying the series, there are a lot of holes and lack of logic in the characters and world building. It’s like…the author wants to sound clever and business minded but actually isn’t, so a lot of details fall short of the mark.

[Kimberly Hulley · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not a full book.

This was literally one chapter, where is the rest of the story? My rating will stand until this is corrected.

[Jennine S. · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not the full book!

What's up? This is only a 19 page preview of the actual book! Has the full book not actually been released? What is going on?

Exciting drama-filled volume

This volume moves the storyline along at a brisk pace, but doesn't skimp on the drinks and food! A must-have for fans of the dahlia series!

[Tyler & Tylar · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think Dahlia is a alcoholic she is constantly drinking alcohol of some kind. This girl seriously never seems to drink water 💀 loved this one just as much as the last.

[Jack · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still quite good at 4th volume. New translator and editor. Good translation notes at the back.

[Mk · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first half really dragged but the second half flew by! This series is at its best when dahlia is blowing people away with her ingenuity and kindness.
