Description

The world is ending.

To most, that's a problem. To Elise Rowe, it's the start of her week. With her Sword of Heroism in one hand and a jug of coffee in the other, she navigates working part-time as a waitress and an official heroine. She also has a flying cat to feed.

It's actually not too bad, even if sometimes omens of certain doom wakes her up in the middle of the night. Mysterious blue petals are falling from the sky, and every witch in the realm has seemingly vanished.

Something is bellowing in the deep. And only Elise has the certification to answer.

    A fun, quick read that is well worth dipping into. Carries a narrative theme similar to what could be expected from Terry Pratchett or Neil Gaiman, giving the story a cinnamon and light brown sugar or warm winter apple juice feel.
    The story is very laid back, following a more fluffy and colourful style of the hero/dragon sarga that we can all feel familiar to. This is a tale that will be enjoyed by anyone looking for something a bit slower and more refreshing that the typical dynamic adrenaline styled tale.

    Written at the end of the book / chapter 20
    A part-time heroine's guide to dragonslaying is an amazing and cute brief story.
    It is set in a magical fantasy world at a point in time where people have realised that fate works to create stories and fairy tales. The concepts of "jinx" and the like are very much real and navigating them has become a natural part of life for citizens in Ouzelia, including the Heroine protagonist.
    The story is incredibly cute and with a calm and unrushed pace. The peculiar nature of the world flips all conventional fairy tale tropes on the head to create twists and turns that elegantly subvert your expectations.
    In my opinion, this story, like the main story in the universe of The Villainess is an SS+ rank adventurer, is a perfect example of a modern interpretation of the classical fairy tale. I think it is fit for people of all ages, and moreso than the villainess story, I think this would be a perfect read/bedtime story for younger girls (and boys).
    Also, to author: I think this works best as a finished/one-off story rather than the start of a series.
    Advanced Reviews must be at least 200 words long.

    The lands of Ouzelia are very eccentric! It's fun to read about the wild goings-on. Winged tabbies, delivery witches, daily explosions, falling pianos, etc. It's all par for the course. And it is refreshing.
    Elise is a fun character. With a good mix of serious professionalism and wackiness. I'm equally interested in her cafe waitress life as her part hero job.
    I feel comfortable when reading this story. It's like being in a Studio Ghibli story!

    A tip for readers who have never read a Terry Pratchett style book before, don't get bogged down by the details, pay attention to the main story
    I am quite a large fan of the diskworld series by Terry Pratchett and this series definitely captures the essence of his style, this is the kind of story that careers are made from, solid 4.5/5 (I'll give you the bonus of rounding up)

    This is definitely going to turn out to be a great story going by the current chapter and the other story currently in progress. I've always wondered what it's like in Ouzelia and it's nice that were finally getting a book about it. I can't wait to see how this story turns out.

    ★★★★ 4.0
    A solid effort, especially for this genre.  It's not perfect, and it does drag in places, but overall a great work.  The characterization is clean and original, and is not filled with walking stereotypes, which often is a problem for these types of stories.
    I did note a few spelling and grammatical errors, but all in all this story is worth time reading.  Give it a spin!
