Book Summary:
You know how the story goes. A high school girl wakes up to a new life – quite literally, for she's been reborn as Catarina Claes, a villainess and spoiled daughter of a duke. In other words, a big pain in the butt.
Catarina may be clueless, but that makes her very talented at getting into the center of the biggest problems. For example, she now knows who is behind her friend's disappearance – and she's not going to sit around and wait for someone else to save the day.
My Review:
My Next Life as a Villainess Vol. 4 marks a significant change in the series, at least in my mind. This is the moment where Catarina starts writing her own future instead of just reacting to what is happening around her (read: trying to avoid doom scenes). Technically, she's been doing that the whole time, but this was the first major time she had to go out of her way to do something without thinking of how it may or may not affect her doom.
What I'm trying to say is that I feel like our little Catarina is finally (finally) growing up. A bit. Just a smidge. But it's something! She's still as oblivious as ever, and I love her for it.
This volume showed a different side of the world, where dark magic and more insidious plots can live. We've always known there had to be a darker underbelly – after all; the world is supposed to have a villainess running around, why not others to counter her? It was interesting to see this side of the world, and I'm looking forward to further exploring it (you know it isn't end there).
