Wisteria, the daughter of a count, secretly has feelings for Bright, a beautiful childhood friend and son of a duke who, unable to use magic, had been conducting forbidden research in the shadows. Devastated when Bright confesses his love for her younger sister, Wisteria is even more hurt when he asks her to take her sister’s place as a sacrifice. Is her love for Bright so strong that she will give up her life for him?

Once it got going I was invested. I have a lot of questions, though. Vol 1 feels more like a prologue than anything else. Like. Twenty-three years passed. Hello??? What happened then? And I do feel a little weird about her being into her former beau’s son. Though. She didn’t age for precisely this reason.

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
