So events are atarting to happen now. Chise knows about her eventual fate and I'm loving how Elias is like, I'll make sure that won't happen. It's sort of like an experiment but he cares for her. Chise is now starting to do her magic training and it's nice to see that she isn't getting everything right but is still trying her hardest!
And that ending! Such a cliffhanger!! Lots of fun moments but also moments where we question who Elias really is and what his end goal might be.

~3.5/5
The first part of this volume concludes the cat story. It’s sad and a little horrifying and it exhausts Chise’s power supply. Which leads to us meeting the faerie queen and king, which is quite comedic and sure to lead to something later on. There’s a bit of calm, with Chise settling into her new home, and then she goes on another job with Elias, and comes another cliffhanger.
I’m enjoying Chise’s character, and I like seeing how she’s getting used to her new home and family. She’s never had anyone be so nice to her as Elias, and it takes some getting used to, but she's growing attached to him. There’s also more chemistry between her and Elias forming; before, it seemed more fatherly, but there were actual romantic attachments between them in this volume, even if nothing’s happened yet. Given that she’s supposed to be his bride at some point, this is a nice development.
We’re also learning with Chise what her magic is doing to her, and what it could lead to in the long run.
This is a slow, subtle series. Small moments of development and humor, a lot of different characters and creatures introduced. I’m enjoying it so far.

A magnificent 5 stars! I prefer this to the first volume which was a little confusing at times. The second volume is superb and full of surprises.
