Beautiful and brilliant sorcerer girls just can't have nice things, huh? All I wanted to do was swipe a little bit of bandit treasure. Now suddenly I'm being chased around by icky trolls, nasty demons, mean mummies, and brooding golem bad boys. And for what? A tiny little artifact that can bring about the end of the world? Hah! I'll show them there's a reason you don't cross Lina Inverse...

Having already watched the first season of the anime 15 or so years ago, and already read the Chinese version of this book, and a Japanese abridged version, this was just a refresh of the story to me. However, the anime seemed really long, and the books too. Perhaps reading in a language you are not proficient in makes the book feel longer.

This was a surprisingly quick read. Come to think of it, of course, it's a light novel. Breezed through the English version of the book. It was nice and nostalgic. Now on to the next book!
