A review by michieknee
Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina, Vol. 1 by Jougi Shiraishi

4.0

As opposed to the more linear narrative of the anime, the Wandering Witch light novels string together like a collection of fairy tales linked by their narrator, Elaina, much like something from the Grimm Brothers or Hans Christian Andersen. While linear does work well for the anime, I quite like how each story flows into the other here as Jougi and/or their editing team do a good job of ordering stories in a way that seems fitting.

I liked getting more into Elaina's head. The first person narrative adds a lot to the stories. I enjoyed the majority of the stories, some recognizable from the anime and some that can only be found here.
