Tearmoon Empire Light Novel #7
Tearmoon Empire: Volume 7
Just as Mia’s getting ready to take it easy for a while, her old friend the great famine comes knocking again, this time in the form of a complete collapse of Forkroad & Co.’s business. Without their logistics, Mia’s famine prevention plan is now critically hobbled. You’d think surviving an assassination attempt would entitle her to some rest and recreation—so much for taking it easy!
As she investigates the source of all this, an old name from her past life resurfaces, along with a host of bitter memories associated with it—Shalloak Cornrogue, the Merchant King. Remembering the indignity she once suffered at his hands, a wolfish smile creeps across her face. No one picks a fight with Mia Luna Tearmoon and gets away with it. Not indefinitely, at least. Time for some payback.
Unbeknownst to her, said payback will take Mia all the way to Perujin, dragging in a multitude of people and culminating in a showdown that will change the fate of the entire country forever...

What's amazing about this series is that Mia's growth as a character is undeniable, and yet the fact that she's petty, cowardly, and gluttonous never changes no matter how much she's grown. Mia is still the same old Mia in vol. 7, but we get to see different sides of her as she deals with various issues. The book starts by wrapping up the plot involving the Chaos Serpents and children of the four dukes, with Mia returning home for her birthday celebration festival. This part of the story is a bit heavy on the politics than usual. It's definitely not what Mia intended, but it seems like her path towards becoming Tearmoon's first ever empress is starting to be laid out.
After that, the story shifts to a problem in Perujin involving Shalloak Cornrouge, the Merchant King who refused Mia's request for help and also humiliated her in the previous timeline. This leads to Mia visiting Perujin in person, which is nice since we've known Rania and Arshia for quite a while now, and we can finally see their home country in this book. In her attempt to solve the conflict, we also get to see how impeccable Mia's etiquette is. She is a princess after all. She's grown quite diplomatic and compassionate, showing massive improvements to how she used to be in vol. 1, even if the reason behind her actions are usually as simple as… food. The way she solves the main problem, however, does nothing to clear people's misconceptions of her. So her reputation as the Great Sage of the Empire continues to soar, and the Mia cult is ever-expanding.
As a side note, Mia has also become pretty sharp when it comes to sensing danger. She knows by instinct which course of action would lead her straight back to the guillotine, and she does everything she could to avoid that outcome. Regardless of her true intentions, she's actually doing an amazing job at being a princess and potential empress LOL. However, the book also points out Mia's habit of overeating and what kind of future it could lead her to. As the result, there's quite a lot of fat jokes again in this volume, so do keep that in mind if you're sensitive to that.
Looks like the next book will be focusing on Sion, who seems to have developed some feelings for Mia by now. Exciting. What's not exciting, however, is the fact that I have to wait two more months for it to come out. Cries.

Tearmoon Empire is in my top 10 favorite series of all time, just to preface this review. I love every single book in the series, although I do have my favorites. And let me just say - book 7 completely blew all the previous books out of the water! It had the usual humor, snark, heart, and fun plot, but it threw some new curveballs in and upped the ante in some very satisfying ways. I very much enjoyed it and am now going to reread it because it was that awesome. 5 stars! Also, the cover is fantastic!

See above plus: Anne is my second favorite after Mia. She's the best and the extra chapter broke my heart and healed it all in one. In other lovable moments: Overall, definitely still my favorite in the series! The Japanese audiobook is also a great while reading - it brings all of the characters' voices to life. 5 stars.

This was a FANTASTIC Volume (as always). I loved seeing how all of Mia's connections are panning out, how those connections are effecting each other and how every character is progressing. I know the narrative and Mia's inner dialogue stresses that all of Mia's actions are selfishly-inclined, but there are increasingly more choices and actions that prove it's not that simple, and there were plenty of those moments in this Volume, which were a joy to see! Also loved how Mia faced some resistance in this Volume, so she couldn't just ride the wave as smoothly as she usually does! I really do adore this series, it's so good!
(Also Mia would make the BEST food blogger, I got so hungry reading this Volume XD)

Mia's Great Bread-Cake Declaration...of course includes cake!
Our intrepid Mia-first protagonist continues her race to save the Empire. No, wait, not just the Empire, the continent. If this keeps up, she's going to be celebrated in statues and food products. Is it already too late? This volume answer this and other questions as it speeds us to the coming disaster. And no, I don't mean Mia's return to the kitchen.

It's fine! I know its a comedy but the lack of depth in the heroine makes it hard to stick with it. I might stop here.

Es una de los mejores mangas que he leído este año. Es muy inocente y refrescante. La historia se centra en el renacimiento de Mia Luna Tearmoon princesa del imperio Tearmoon, cuyo personaje esta basado en la Reina Maria Antonieta, sin embargo esta es una princesa reformada, que después de morir en la guillotina y volver al pasado aprovecha esta segunda oportunidad para cambiar su destino y el de su país, con una mentalidad renovada se da cuenta que puede hacer nuevos amigos y aliados que nunca tuvo en su vida anterior, teniendo una vida mucha más rica. Con un toque de comedia y sátira este manga es una delicia. Excelente uso del humor negro!!
