About this eBook

Following a disastrous encounter with a noble, Myne finally resolves to say goodbye to her family and friends in the lower city, changing her name to “Rozemyne” and beginning her new life as the adopted daughter of Ehrenfest’s archduke. However, her days as an archnoble in noble society are brutal, as she is put through rigorous etiquette and magic training on top of her duties as High Bishop and forewoman. It all proves too much for a weak little seven-year-old girl... Or it would have, had the High Priest not offered her the keys to the temple’s book room as a reward. If she could get her hands on those, she’d be able to read all sorts of precious books! Her name may have changed, but Rozemyne’s passion for books remains the same as she charges into a whole new world!

The detailed setting expands as the printing industry grows in size. Here begins Part 3 of this bibliofantasy for book lovers everywhere!

Ratings and reviews

A very enjoyable volume. Reading about Myne and her beginning struggles to adjust to noble society is very interesting, but what I enjoy most is Myne and Ferdinand banter between each other.

As a fan of the series who started reading after watching season 3 of the anime adaptation, I am so glad I decided to pick up this book. The interactions between Ferdinand and Silvester are absolutely hilarious to the point it got me laughing for a solid ten minutes straight. For the amazing dynamic between those two characters alone, which we didn't get to see nearly enough of any time previous to this, I am prepared to rate this book in particular as the best in the series.

The anime ending made me emotional that Im so invested with the anime, im so invested that I decided to go with paid contents so I could follow (I cant see any free manga or novel). A lot has happened in this book and my money is not wasted, i no longer regret spending money for this book.
