[DeepL Translation - needs review] Kirihito, a boy born and raised in a village of blacksmiths, is ordered by the royal court to serve Matsurika, the "Sorceress of the High Tower," who lives in the oldest library in history. She is feared as a "witch" because of her ability to peruse ancient and modern books and manipulate numerous languages to devise schemes, but she is a young girl without a voice of her own. This is the beginning of the fourth volume of this cross-world fantasy!

Part 1 out of 4 of the book 図書館の魔女
First of all, bear in mind that 図書館の魔女 is a book with 1000以上 pages, divided into either 2 tankobon volumes or 4 bunkobon volumes. In this case, this is the first bunkobon volume, which contains almost exclusively the prologue of the story.
With that said, I won't speak at this point about the book itself, because, well, it's just the prologue. But so far it's really good. What I do want to say is "Caution!" This is not an easy book, certainly not even for natives.
The author is a linguist flue
