素晴らしい!色々な出来事が最初の巻で飽きさせないように描かれている。予想できる部分もあるけどほとんどの出来事は新鮮で最初の巻から進展していく姿が感じられる(気に入ってる部分でもある)。一番大きなバトルの書き方が素晴らしい。普段はバトルを読むのはあんまり好きじゃないけど作者が戦いを通じて色々な部分とキャラたちを進展させていて、とても驚いた。

今回の主観はほとんどアニスの主観(6割~7割)、残りの部分は色々なキャラたちの話(シーンによる)。作者は新しい魔学の詳細を組み入れたけどつまらない部分はなく情報だけを投げつけることもない。もしこのような展開がまた起こるのなら次の巻が楽しみだ。

同時にオーディオブックを聞いていたがほとんどの部分はいいがオーディオだけは勧められない。なぜならナレーターが誰の台詞を言っているかが分かりづらいからだ(これだけ多くのキャラがいるので理解できる)。テキストなしではちょっと困惑すると思う。

Really impressed. It builds on the events of the first book in a lot of very interesting ways. I can't say none of it was predictable, but a lot of it was very fresh, and I think a substantial improvement from the first volume (which I already loved). I was especially impressed with how well the main battle was written. I don't usually like reading battles, but the author used it to develop so many different parts of the story and characters, in ways I was really not expecting.

I'd say about 60-70% of the PoV this time around is Anis, and the rest is split between different characters (including of course Yufi), depending on the scene. The author also manages to introduce new magical/魔学 details without ever getting boring, or going on long info-dumps. If this is any indication of the next volumes, I'm really excited.

I read along with the audiobook, and while I think it was overall solid, I'd recommend following the text if you listen to it. The narrator doesn't always do the best job of making it clear who's speaking (admittedly challenging with a cast this big), so it may be a bit confusing without
