The story, like the previous books, is cozy and cute. It's not jawdropping or keeps you at the end of your seat, but it's a nice read. One thing thats annoying in this book is the repetitive wording that I'm assuming was supposed to be quirky or funny. Like the main character will think something like "oh im so embarrassed …

I'm still unimpressed with this series, it was interesting enough to see how Ivy's monsters evolved though. This is more of a cozy setting, there aren't many dramatic events and even when they do happen it resolves quickly. So quick in fact that the explanation is only briefly mentioned as an afterthought, the resolution of the problem that started at …

4.5 stars! The first half of this was basically a continuation + conclusion to the plot of the previous book and I have to say I'm not at all disappointed with how it turned out. I honestly kind of expected Ivy to end up hiring Druid as a slave but the fact that she instead chooses to ask him to …

It’s interesting how Sora and Flame have developed some cool new OP skills. However, the emotional stuff with Druid and his family was a bit cheesy. The writing isn’t all that great—emotions are shown by expressions but they’re not very clear or understandable, so they seem disjointed. I’m not sure if it’s the writing or maybe the translation. I was …

The book consists of two section. The first part is Ivy and friends dealing with the external problems at the village, learn a bit about her tamed monsters' powers and helping Druid's family. The second part is her and Druid continuing their journey, through which Druid is the voice of what is normal in this world. It is an entertaining …

Another cute installment. The story and characters were lovely as usual, but I especially enjoyed seeing Ciel, Sora, and Flame grow, and seeing their bond with Ivy (and Druid too!) expand. This whole series would easily be 5 stars for me, if not for the amount of repetition in each book. There's so much repeating/rewording of what was just said. …

I enjoyed this volume but I was bothered by one thing. Druid's parents do not deserve forgiveness. They have failed their youngest child by being unable to protect him which led him to leaving his home and struggling with guilt for more than 20 years. Instead of taking care of him they end up showing sympathy for their good-for-nothing oldest …

We slow down a bit, between getting ready to go to the next town and helping Druid's family with the onigiris... I liked how things developed with Druid and his brothers... Genre: adventure, magic, slice of life, cute monster companions. No romance (main lead is 9yo) POV: multiple (though most of the story is from MC's pov) Tropes: memories of …

**Heart warming.** This volume was heart warming and fun. Ivy gets, not only a new travel companion, but a father figure as well. Broken hearts start to mend, severed bonds rewoven. This is a great series.

This volume make so hungry, it was ridiculous (I want to eat those onigiri so bad). In the first third of the book Ivy was in a constant state of confusion for no reason. Base on the events of the previous volumes she should have been more focused. Slime Ciel was the cutest thing ever. This entire review has been …

This one was slower plot-y wise, but it focus on Ivy and Druid's growing relationship and that is what I'm in for. The slimes and Ciel continue to be cuties and Druid's family instant acceptance of Ivy is just a balm to the soul (especially when you remember book 1).

**Amazing** Druid and Ivy make a goof father-daughter combo. Both are learning a lot from each other. One has been a solo traveler and the other has been a group traveler. Ivy's familiars are too strong and rare.

A slow one but still good. I only gave it four stars because it wasn't as good as the others in the series, but it's still great.

Got stuck while reading this ages ago. Picked it back up and reread it from the start to remember what was going on.

Thank goodness, I finally finished reading this. Actual rating is 4.25. I mean, a lot has happened here. Some were tensed, most were adorable. And Ivy with her new companion headed off to next town. Now let's see in the next volume about what will happen there. 😊💕✌️ Displaying 1 - 22 of 22 reviews Join the discussion ------------------- [6\ …
