Tearmoon Empire Light Novel #8
Tearmoon Empire: Volume 8
Mia reclines and flips open the Princess Chronicles, wondering what new developments it has in store, when her eyes leap to a certain line: “Sion Sol Sunkland perished in his youth.” Needless to say, she does not remain recumbent for long. How could this possibly be?!
Though he may be infuriating at times, Sion is an ally, a classmate, and most importantly...a friend. She needs to warn him; if she can’t save him personally—which, let’s face it, is unlikely given her limited faculties—then he can at least save himself. But how? She only has a month before his impending doom. She can’t exactly tell him he’s going to die because a magic book said so. Heck, she can’t tell him anything at all—he’s currently in Sunkland, and she has no business there.
That’s when an aggrieved Esmeralda shows up complaining about a marriage proposal her father insists she accept. Upon hearing that the suitor is a Sunkland noble, the cogs in Mia’s brain begin to turn...

This was a fun 8th installment in the series! I just love Mia and the gang, and it was super interesting to follow them to Sunkland and explore somewhere new and intriguing. I'm a bit disappointed that the conflict wasn't fully resolved in this volume, but I'm sure the next volume will wrap up this sub-arc nicely - and things do seem to be running pretty deep, intrigue and drama-wise. Anyway, a solid installment in the series - a perfect pick-me-up every week! 5 stars.
Reread October 26th-November 3rd, 2023 (in Japanese)

It's been a while since I read vol. 7 of Tearmoon Empire, but the series remains as fun as always. Similarly to several of the previous books, vol. 8 starts by wrapping up the previous arc of Mia's visit to Perujin before moving on to a new adventure. However, the book also contains a bonus short story that delves deeper into the food research Mia has been trying to push. Of course her intention isn't as pure as wanting to feed everyone well even during the impending famine, but at this point no one can stop the Mia cult from worshiping her LOL.
After Perujin, it is now time for Mia to visit Sunkland… because the Princess Chronicles now says Sion is going to die very soon. First from a bandit attack, then from poisoning. At the same time, Esmeralda is facing an arranged marriage to Sion's 10 year old brother, Echard, who has massive inferiority complex towards Sion. Since Mia is on very good terms with Sion, Duke Greenmoon seems to be planning to secure his own political alliance and opposition to Mia's empress faction. So when Esmeralda leaves for Sunkland in the hope of turning down the arranged marriage, Mia decides to tag along to hopefully save Sion's life. Plus, there are some questionable rumors about the Equestrian Kingdom circulating in Sunkland.
Due to all these things happening at the same time, this particular volume is pretty heavy on the politics. Now that Citrina is free from the Chaos Serpents' grasp, she proves to be exceptional in information gathering and works really well together with Dion. A good portion of the book is spent on collecting data and setting up the plot, but due to the scale of the issue, we don't actually get to see the climax and resolution here. While this one does feel like it has the middle book syndrome, it's still a highly enjoyable read because Mia just keeps on being Mia. She can be so graceful and eloquent while wolfing down her food at the same time, as food remains her top priority as always.
Kinda glad I didn't have the time to read back when this was released, because now I have three more Tearmoon Empire volumes to binge and that's the best thing ever.

Loved this volume of Tearmoon Empire (but am I surprised at this point? The entire series is so good!)! As always the scenes from past timelines makes me emotional, the coincidences Mia has to struggle through make me laugh and the slow reveal of the current plot/mysteries have me intrigued. But added to this volume is new interesting dynamics (I adored Rina and Dion interacting), characters starting to be proactive instead of just thinking what Mia would want them to do (though there still is a fair lot of that as always XD) and we finally get to visit Sunkland! Really looking forward to the next volume!

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!!
