amazing

I cant wait for the next one this book was so well narrated it was nice. I wish there were more.

It's all here

I'll start with the bad since there is almost none:
1. These are so good, story and acting both. However, so far we are only seeing a release of approximately two volumes per year, so be prepared to wait a LOT to see what happens next. I would definitely be willing to pay money to whomever necessary to increase the publishing rate from two to 6 per year, but would be happy to compromise at 4 :p

The rest is fantastic. The story itself is extremely immersive. The world building and character writing is all cohesive and any one facet plays into the others. Much like Spice & Wolf in that way, but due to the nature of the story taking place in one area so far, it gets more time to be fully fleshed out.

The narration and voice acting is superb, of course, as we still have the english voice actress for Myne. She differentiates character voices well and pulls off a warm tone that gives the while experience a cozy story time feel, albeit a high end one. The only real improvement I could imagine would be getting the voice actor for Ferdinand to reprise his role and perhaps perform several of the other Male characters who will he introduced too. This isn't really necessary because Buhr is doing such a good job, but it would be a nice cherry on top :)

oh! also, there is a short story at the end about the guild master which is great and confirmed my suspicion about him. look forward to it

Thanks for the great work, everyone!

another amazing volume

I'm really enjoying the story so far. it's nice to imagine the scenes from the anime as they happen in the book as reference.

Need more

I love this story can't wait till the next one. would love to see it out pace the anime.

So good it hurts

This series is so good it's almost criminal how long each book takes to come out! Reba is the PERFECT VA, and the story is so well told it puts other series to shame, almost nothing can hold my attention for 8 straight hours, but AOABW can. Please work hard and get the next one to us! I can't hold the suspense!
