“Now that Cartaphilus has chosen to enter a long slumber, peace has finally returned to the little cottage west of London. But it’s not long before a message arrives for Chise: an invitation to join the college, a society of alchemists. Deep beneath the British Library, the curtain rises on a new story set on a new stage. There, human children learn, think, and grow…but what of those who are inhuman?”
This is the tenth volume in the Ancient Magus Bride series. I really enjoyed this volume in the Ancient Magus Bride series a lot. This starts a new story arc for the series with Chise starting to attend mage school.
In this volume we see the conversations that led up to Chise’s choice to attend school, her first days at school, and meet a ton of new characters (which I may struggle to remember because they were introduced very rapidly).
We also get to learn a lot more about magic and alchemy which I really enjoyed. Additionally we learn a bit more about Elias’s past.
The illustration remains incredible; such wonderful detail through…I absolutely loved it.
Overall this was a wonderful installment in the Ancient Magus Bride series. I enjoyed it immensely and can’t wait to see where the story goes from here. I think fans of the Black Butler manga series would also enjoy this series a lot.
