Despite Lunadea<\/a>‘s first Bookbound Bunny novel<\/a> being both slowly paced and focused on training, I ended up enjoying it a great deal. The speed at which the protagonist develops her abilities feels just right, and while it’s rather shocking this wasn’t two books rather than one I must admit that the magic test works far better as a clean break than the magic ritual would have. Curiously though there isn’t much more content available beyond that point as the web novel version<\/a> is only about halfway through the second volume (assuming a similar final pagecount).<\/p>\n

That second novel also focuses on something I’m not generally fond of, the beginning of an academy arc, and yet again the author manages to perfectly nail the developmental pacing; despite being slow the events never start to drag or feel superfluous. My only complaints for this section are that it’s odd both that the protagonist hasn’t yet looked in the library for books on the moon or stars (to resolve the spell name issue) and the way the basilisk girl expects her to share all her deepest, darkest secrets despite them having known each other for barely more than a week.<\/p>\n

The fifteenth of Michael Sisa<\/a>‘s Legend of the Arch Magus<\/a> novels turned out to be the penultimate entry in the series rather than the conclusion. Fortunately however, for a certain definition of the word, it starts out so awful that (for me) it may as well be the series’ finale. I don’t recall one of his apprentices being a pre-teen, but giving that character such a major focus out of nowhere was the exactly wrong move to make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
