My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Volume 4 by Nami Hidaka, Satoru Yamaguchi, Shirley Yeung
5.0
Okay I know I said the last volume was my favorite by far but I change my mind.
THIS volume is my favorite by far.
A 5 out of 5 from me! If I were being suuuuper picky then maybe 4.8 but I'm in a happy mood so I give this a perfect score.
I'm gonna start off with what I felt was the biggest improvement: the different POV scenes!
In previous novels, most of the time it felt like the author copy pasted the same scene that recently occured and added a few extra lines in between.
But here??? Almost none of the dialogue was copy pasted! The events were retold in everyone's own specific way! It was so much better reading things like this!
If I were being a little picky, I would prefer it if some of the details were constantly repeated. For example, in all the different POVs, we'd always see a line that was some variation of "Katarina Claes, the daughter of Duke Claes and fiancée of Jeord Stuart, the third crown prince of the kingdom." Bringing it up once or twice is fine, but mentioning it so often felt unneccessary.
Anywho, back to more good stuff! After the events of the previous book, it seems that Katarina has realized another one of the LI's feelings!
Not gonna lie, after the LI's confession, my faith in the first LI who confessed wavered. Now I'm mot sure who to root for!
Oh wait, I do. As a Nicol Ascart fan, it is my obligation to review the Nicol content in this book. After reading his POV, I switched gears and now I'm rooting for Nicol and Katarina to end up together!
From this novel, we learn of Nicol's efforts in dealing with his feelings (and how unsuccessful his efforts have been) and I just-
I want him to be happy and it seems like he'll achieve true happiness with Katarina!
But I also feel the same way about the two LIs who confessed to her already so-
Bottomline: AAAAHHHH this novel was not good for my heart. It had swoonworthy moments, it had adventure and surprises. It also had moments that made me laugh! Truly a masterpiece from the author.
