Trên đường tìm người giúp hoàng tử, Elaina bắt gặp một nữ kỵ sĩ oai phong cũng đang tìm kiếm nàng công chúa xinh đẹp nọ. Cuối cùng khi tìm thấy công chúa của vương quốc cối xay gió, Elaina lại rơi vào tình thế hết sức bối rối: Ai là người tình thực sự của công chúa, còn ai là kẻ muốn phá hoại hạnh phúc của nàng?

Cô khoác trên mình chiếc áo choàng màu đen cùng một chiếc mũ tam giác nhọn đỉnh thêm chiếc huy hiệu hình ngôi sao gắn trên ngực áo đại biểu cho một phù thủy. Lúc nào cũng vậy, cô luôn ung dung tự tại bay đi trên cây chổi của mình. Cô gái đang tận hưởng sự tự do một cách xa xỉ đó rốt cuộc là ai vậy nhỉ. Đó, chính là tôi, Elaina - phù thủy Tro Tàn.

If you like Elaina’s brand of snark, you’ll get it in spades. However, if you’re seeking a strong story arc, character development, or something uplifting, look elsewhere.The ReviewWandering Witch continues into Volume 2 with another fourteen short stories about Elaina’s encounters with different people and places. Unfortunately, none were particularly fun or gripping, and I found myself less invested in Elaina than when I started.Part of this is because Elaina is the one thing these stories have in common, and there’s virtually no character development for her. In Volume 1, we at least got to see her mature during her path to becoming a witch under her mentor. There’s none of that growth in Volume 2. Actually, it’s worse because Elaina’s inconsistent as a character. In the previous volume, she was introduced as an unfettered spirit who travels randomly and scrapes by using bogus fortune-telling. In Volume 2’s “Before the Snow Melts,” she abruptly informs us that she’s occasionally duty-bound to “help solve some country’s problems” as if she’s a pillar of society. Moreover, her champion-of-justice fervor for the orphaned beastkin Elise and her righteous attitude towards the official who summoned her are at odds with her flippant indifference toward the injured robbery victim in “Regarding the Bomb.”Another reason I didn’t enjoy the stories is because the majority of Elaina’s encounters are with idiots. Saya, the creepy stalker girl from Volume 1, returns in “The Country of Truth Tellers” as an inept representative of the United Magic Association tasked with helping an even more inept witch undo a spell she cast for an ungrateful king. Their bumbling antics are supposed to be comic, but they just come off as tiresome. In “A Paradise for the Resurrected,” Elaina goes out of her way to rescue ten people from a zombie-infested town, only for them to reject escape at the last minute and wind up zombies themselves. And “The People Who Hunt the Lazy” is particularly pointless. There’s no real cause or resolution to the supposed job truancy crisis, and the whole concept of Elaina “taking a break from [her] travels” is preposterous because her behavior while on “vacation” is no different than usual.Extras include the first six pages printed in color, five black-and-white illustrations, and afterword.This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.Show full review

That does give the book a grimmer, more depressing feel, but the stories' ability to touch on a basic theme or truth remains, and even if it ends on a Sad Animal Story (my personal least favorite genre; thanks, Wilson Rawls), it's still one of the more interesting light novels currently being published in English.

Surprisingly few adapted in the anime but I suppose when constructing a more visual narrative it's necessary to be selective. The standout titles for me: A Runaway Princess, Pursued by Whom?; Before the Snow Melts; A Paradise for the Resurrected; For the Sake of My Hometown; The Ancient Country and the Divine Cat's Reincarnation.

Profile Image for Brian Wilkerson.Brian WilkersonAuthor 5 books30 followersFollowFollowAugust 6, 2022Elaina's journeys continue with more short stories. I like this format. It's like buying a variety pack of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. Some of them are short and silly, like "Pioneers of Style". A light read and enjoyable. Some of them are quite heavy, filled with both positive and negative emotion, like "Before the Snow Melts". That one was an experience. Then there are some that are technically tragedies, but the tone of the story and the attitude of its protagonist make them merely a curious event. By having story stories of a traveler, the author can do all this and more. Elaina is not an adventurer, going on quests for fame or fortune. She is not a knight-errant, seeking wrongs to right. She is a tourist, seeking only to see what is beyond the next hill. So, it's easy to write her in and out of the stories she encounters. For those seeking something bigger, there is a continuity here! Elaina unexpectedly reunites with an old friend, one who wears a familiar pointy hat. Yes, Saya returns!Trickster Eric Novels Gives "Wandering Witch volume 2" an A+Chris159 reviews1 followerFollowFollowOctober 24, 2020This one was a lot darker than the first, but the same thing that I said about volume one also applies.What this one does do differently was that for one of the stories, Elaina went back, so there was an actual conclusion to that country (which honestly is a little rare) and I found that with the first volume that was not explored or touched upon. Whereas I found with this volume the author had a lot more of conclusions to the stories than it did with the first volume. Although I have to say that I do miss that sometimes the side characters that pop up periodically through the book.One of the other reviewers on this site said something about an entire chapter devoted to the author's homophobia. Personally, I did not feel this way about that chapter, but I will not fault that other reviewer for seeing it as such. The entire chapter felt uninformed about homosexual couples more than any actual blatant homophobia or prejudice of any sort.I think I will give this series one more volume to try, but if nothing comes of it, than I may have to forego pursuing this series.Profile Image for he chow.he chow380 reviews1 followerFollowFollowFebruary 13, 2021“真实若是剑,谎言便是鞘。谎言的鞘正是为了避免剑胡乱挥舞伤人,而隐藏了真实的锋芒。 谎言也有这种使用方式。”“没有任何人能够幸福,未来也不会有人幸福的现实实在太过虚无。 然而,我无能为力。”“无论再怎么挣扎,他们的路途尽头都只有绝望。”“光是环境改变,人的本质果然还是不会变啊,预定这种感觉。当然这是骗人的。那么如果还有下集,就再会吧!”作者先生,您看世界看的很清醒啊(笑)。Profile Image for Fernanda.Fernanda361 reviews111 followersFollowFollowAugust 16, 2021More like a 3.5, this book was much better than the first one. A little bit more brutal in some cases. Some fluffy stories, some kinda creepy. Pretty well balanced.Profile Image for Héctor Sanchez.Héctor Sanchez14 reviewsFollowFollowReadAugust 31, 2021I really like some of the more darker stories.

I enjoy it.Profile Image for Nicol.Nicol368 reviewsFollowFollowMay 23, 2025Bueno, si buscan una historia sería y compleja, La Bruja Errante no es lo suyo. Una lluvia a plena luz del sol. “Creo que me relajaré por un rato en este lugar”. Esta hermosa joven bruja había sido cautivada por el precioso paisaje que se extendía frente a ella. En efecto. Soy yo Nuestra interesante Bruja Elaina sufre varios cambios drásticos en este segundo volumen: Donde la primera no se involucraba, está actúa Donde la primera tenía pensamientos internos bastante desconsiderados y crueles, está apenas los tiene.Sigue involucrándose en situaciones absurdas y poco relevantes, pero se queja menos, incluso es menos egoísta y... a diferencia de las otras obras, donde se apartaba sin apenas remordimiento, aqui su tristeza aflora más. Es menos codiciosa, ya no se queda con el dinero Bien. Pero sabes que no tengo nada que ofrecer a cambio, ¿verdad, Elaina?” -No te preocupes. Tengo mucho tiempo de sobra. Además… No soy el tipo de persona insensible que ignoraría tu situación luego de escuchar una historia como esa.- y así, se decidió que ayudaría a Elise. En esta entrega, aprendemos mas del mundo: -Existe una organizacion de brujas llamada: la Asociación Mágica Unida. Esta es la organización que realiza los exámenes de ascenso a bruja aprendiz, resuelve cualquier incidente mágico e investiga nuevos tipos de magia. En resumen: eran una organización misteriosa que quería participar en todas las cosas mágicas. Para diferenciarse, usan broches en forma de luna en el pecho, ademas, reciben comisiones de cualquier rama de la Asociación que visite, por realizar "misiones". -Parece que hay medio humanos. En este caso, conocemos una familia de semihumanos, con cuernos ondulados como ovejas y que son tratados por igual. -Hay ghouls, o zombies.-Hay animales que reencarnan si tienen mucho apego terrenal, renaciendo con dos colas. No entiendo el enojo de la gente. Insistiendo que se leyera la novela desde el volumen uno, porque el anime había recortado un montón de pedazos. Osea, la novela tiene muchas historias, si, demasiadas, pero pocas son lo suficientemente interesantes y/o relevantes.... Que exageración. En este segundo volumen, sigo sin encontrar la historia final del anime: Donde Elaina se enfrenta a otras versiones de si misma. Siempre es triste cuando la gente pierde la vida, así que intenté asegurarme de que no hubiera más dolor acumulado además del que ya había sucedido Pocas historias son muy buenas, y aunque algunas tienen una trama lo suficientemente interesante, no se profundizan, pero bueno, esa es la historia de Elaina la bruja errante: Conocer una historia y seguir el camino. por el bien de mi ciudad natal, un paraíso para los resucitados, antes que la nieva se derrita y la princesa fugitiva, fueron las historias que mas me gustaron.No había podido conceder ninguno de los deseos. Había apartado mi vista del triste incidente—y de la dura realidad. Nadie era feliz ahora; Y saber que nunca lo serían… Era demasiado trágico. Pero no había nada que pudiera hacer.Elaina sigue avanzado hacia una persona mas amable y empatica, pero si puede safarse, prefiere no enfrentar a la gente con la realidad, aunque sea para bien y salve a otras personas. A veces muestra ser una persona frivola y a veces muestra empatía y se queda a ayudar, su personalidad va para adelante y atrás y ante cualquier situación, no sabemos cual Elaina va a actuar.
