Secrets of the Silent Witch, Vol. 1

By: Matsuri Isora, Nanna Fujimi, Alice Prowse - translator

THE SHIEST WITCH YOU’LL EVER MEET!Monica Everett, the Silent Witch, is the only mage in the world who can use unchanted magecraft, a true hero who singlehandedly defeated a legendary black dragon. However, this young genius is actually…super-duper shy! That’s right: She learned to cast spells silently just to avoid speaking in public, and despite her power, she has zero self-confidence. Now Monica has been tasked with secretly guarding the second prince. Can she keep it together as she faces both the evil forces targeting the prince and the terrors of social interaction?

Love the story

I could not stop listening to it. Even though I had seen the anime allready. I can‘t wait for the next book.

Love it.

Watched the anime, listened to this audio and working on the manga and soon the light novels. Love it!

Love this series!

I really enjoyed the audiobook and can not wait until the next audiobook comes out! I love the characters.

The Pigs! The Pigs!

This is a cute story but this first book is a little hard to handle because our sweet, shy, little Monica gets steamrolled quite a bit.

I think I actually prefer the anime adaptation over this written form, believe it or not, and I'm not sure listening to this adds much to the story if you have already seen it. I think maybe there is more insight into the Second Prince, but other than that I almost felt (weirdly enough) that the anime had better pacing to it and more charm.

The narrator has a suitable voice but isn't great. She does well when voicing characters but her narration has pauses after every few words and she also reads very slowly. Listening at 1.2X helped a lot and I soon got used to it, though.

Amazing

Absolutely amazing, deserving of 5 stars, the only issue I have and it is such a minor issue is that the reader doesn't do male voices well, but that isn't enough to take away from the story.
