Summary:
Monica Everett is one of the most talented witches of her generation: the problem is that she doesn’t see herself that way. As an incredibly shy individual, she couldn’t bring herself to chant her magical incantations in front of others, so she perfected something new.
She created and mastered the art of uncharted mage craft, something that had never been done before. This was enough to induct her into the Seven Sages, and life has not been as peaceful and quiet as she would have liked since then.
Review:
So, I recently discovered a magical series called Secrets of the Silent Witch, and I am hooked. I started by watching all of the anime currently available, then started reading the manga. Then I decided that I actually wanted to read the light novels, since there’s far more of that. So yeah, I’m hooked. No turning back now.
Secrets of the Silent Witch (Light Novel) Vol. 1 introduces a magical world, compelling characters, and so much more. It covers the first two volumes of the manga (give or take), just to give you an idea of the pacing.
Enter Monica, aka the Silent Witch. She’s my new favorite character, as her shyness is beyond relatable. She turned this fear of public speaking into her secret superpower, and that’s incredibly impressive, right?
The magical system itself is intriguing, though it’s the characters that really make this world come to life. Monica is an outlier, given her status, but she’s far from the only character we’re getting to learn about. I’m looking forward to getting further into the series, so I can see more about the other Seven Sages.
Interestingly, while the manga and the light novels are pretty comparable, I am noticing some differences between them and the anime. It’s not necessarily anything huge, just details here and there. It’s enough to convince me that I really do need to read along while I watch. I want every detail possible, please!
