Review of advance copy received from Publisher
When Mitia recovers her previous life's memories, she takes on a new goal: to become the most perfect villainess ever! She may only have household magic, but that's not going to stop her from becoming overpowered. Moving to the countryside is only another step in her plan. But the shadow organization that enforces the status quo finds her ideas about equality to be a problem . . .
This was pretty good. Mitia sees herself as this great evil, but the people around her tend to see her as a child playing at being mature. This allows her to catch them off guard with either her highly advanced magic, or her highly competent subordinates. And because she sees herself as a villain, she tends to crush her enemies.
Her subordinates tend to see her as a child play-acting, and treat her like a precious daughter. And she very quickly wins over the countryside where she's chosen exile, despite the longstanding prejudice of mages against the nonmagical people who live there.
Honestly the only real flaw is that things feel a bit too easy. Her spies infiltrate the instant she tells them to go somewhere and always come back with results. People with generations of discrimination and abuse forgive it all with one fight and a few sentences (though at least the area as a whole takes a bit longer).
Overall, though, this was good. I don't plan to continue the series because I wasn't invested enough in the plot or the characters, but I rate the book Recommended.

Review of advance copy received from Publishers Weekly
It has an intriguing premise, young noble girl banished from her own family in an utterly corrupt mage supremacy kingdom tries to survive while fighting said corruption.
Four things work against my enjoyment though. For one thing, I am not a fan of the accidental hero trope, and I don’t mean that she thinks she is a villainess and is a hero instead, but that does the right thing by accident and those around her think she is the best. What is more, she keeps believing it is all play-acting to keep her happy despite all the evidence to the contrary.
The characters are also heavily trope-based, including an obsessively mothering maid, a skilled secret-agent butler, and thugs who become fiercely protective of the female lead after the main character rescues them. If that kind of humor appeals to you, you may enjoy the story more than I did.
The pacing was also a bit too high for my taste; way too much happened in one volume with little true challenges. It was also a bit repetitive with a similar challenge being resolved the same way three times.
Still, it was a decent read. Just not a book for me.
