Book 2 of The Ancient Magus Bride continues the story of Hatori Chise, a Japanese girl who becomes the apprentice and future bride of the Thorn Mage, an inhuman creature who lives in England surrounded by fae magic. I adore this series so far with its beautiful yet dangerous magic. It gets the fae right. And it also provides a realistic glimpse into the impact of depression on Chise’s life. As she becomes more and more entrenched in the world of magic, she begins to slowly open up and come back into herself. Oh, and now that the anime is being simulcast, you should definitely watch that too!

I am really starting to enjoy this series. the monsters are seriously twisted and creepy. Chise has learned of her short life span as a sleigh beggy, but her master has plans to stop that from happening.

Sad and sweet
This started out sad, got kind of sweet and fluffy in the middle, and then it got sad at the end because I guess they want us to just be sad all the time.
We clearly know everything will be mostly okay due to this being the 2nd volume out of 10 but they sure like being dramatic about it.
