Book Review: ‘Ascendance of a Bookworm’ #14 (4.2)
Tumblr media
Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 4 Volume 2 (Ascendance of a Bookworm by Miya Kazuki My rating: 5 of 5 stars Aside from the dumbass (lovesick) prince, aside from the spiteful (petty) archknights, and aside from her exceedingly worrisome (annoying) caretakers back home, Rozemyne's first semester abroad is going swell. ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v14 is the novel series' finest example of "one person's daily aspiration is another person's unmitigated disaster." Lady Rozemyne slips into a comfortable schedule of attending the library and further coaching up her duchy's peers. She occasionally makes time for a tea party or two, but only when necessary or in furtherance of her personal goals. Is it really Rozemyne's fault that she shows up Prince Anastasius, arrogant and abrasive, whenever he challenges her to prove her noble worth? Is it really Rozemyne's fault that the jerks from the duchy of Dunkelfelger are too stupid to do their own background work to avoid being humiliated when attempting to match wits? Whatever the case, readers track Rozemyne's daily adventures as she ingratiates herself to the library staff, befuddles fellow archduke candidates, and occasionally wades into interduchy statecraft, if by sheer accident. ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v14 is a strong, entertaining read. Without constant commentary from Ferdinand, Sylvester, and Karstedt, the young woman's delightfully logical efforts to weasel out of danger are met with just the right balance of amusement and confusion. Social graces this girl has not. For example, when a rival duchy challenges Ehrenfest to a game of treasure-stealing ditter, Rozemyne-the-strategist absolutely dominates. And when Anastasius publicly chides her intellect, Rozemyne-the-brilliant calmly and coolly proves she's eternally prepared with a comeback. One of the novel's best moments occurs during a tea party. A friendly get-together between Rozemyne and the dainty Lady Eglantine (duchy of Klassenberg) goes sideways when Anastasius crashes the party and insists Rozemyne compose a new piece of music for his sort-of girlfriend. The prince is throwing his weight around and trying to put Ehrefest in its place. Except, of course, Rozemyne snaps her fingers, orders her attendants into ready position, and blithely composes a new tune for the harspiel on the fly. She's that good. It isn't until much later that Rozemyne learns how constantly showing up royalty, and frequently responding to their prodding with raw sarcasm, is typically viewed as a death warrant. Whoops. To that end, the current volume also makes a concerted effort to materialize the nation's political infrastructure. Readers learn more of the balance of power between the two princes (Anastasius and his elder brother, Sigiswald). Readers also learn more about the rules of succession (real or presumed), as well as the consequences of attempting to run away from one's royal fate. As far as drama goes, ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v14 doesn't disappoint. When one of her retainers expresses outright disgust for serving a noble with such a weak constitution, Rozemyne must make a difficult decision regarding how to properly effect a punishment befitting the ignorant. To cut off a retainer is to disgrace a person's whole family. But doing so also makes one liable for retaliation. If she's too severe, then her reputation may shift toward a more authoritarian vibe. If she's too soft, then her other retainers may view her kindness as a weakness. What's a librarian to do?

Back to the grind.
Travel for seasonal prayer offerings. Business meetings to organize and expand the printing industry. Arguments with the nobility over the importance of cleaning up the lower city ahead of the duchy's planned growth. ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v16 slips into a more stable narrative pace that sees Lady Rozemyne returning to form as a businesswoman whose eccentricity yields surprises around every corner.
Nothing particularly dramatic or exciting happens in this volume, but as readers know well, sometimes, it's the little things that give Rozemyne's story the attention and flair it deserves.
For example, a journey up north to the province of Haldenzel proves enlightening. It's supposed to be a simple trip, during which Rozemyne and her Gutenbergs will check on the progress of Haldenzel's workshop. But a simple visit turns into a kind of festival, and an impromptu celebration turns into a miracle-inducing blessing for the history books. This blue-haired daughter of the aub may feign innocence ("I didn't want to get in trouble for blasting out blessings like some kind of party trick," page 214), but it's getting tougher to hide the fact that wherever this young woman goes, peculiar things follow (Angelica: "I think you're the most unusual of all, since you're the one who makes all these unusual things happen," page 229).
ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v16 also introduces a few nifty bits of overdue character growth for Rozemyne, including her direct tutelage under Ferdinand. The High Priest teaches the High Bishop a dash of magecraft and potion-making (or, "Professor Ferdinand's Brewing Lessons," as a certain someone calls them). The result of this educational effort is a clever (and dangerous) application of a startlingly common tool of craft.
Another bit of character development involves Rozemyne stepping deeper into the role of advisor and instructor to her own retinue. When Judithe (apprentice medknight, second year) proclaims her admiration for Angelica's competitiveness and focus, Rozemyne immediately chides the girl for ignoring her own strengths in lieu of chasing the unattainable. Judithe excels in ranged combat, why waste time working on sword skills? Know what you're good at, work hard to excel in that craft, and prove your worth with the knowledge and experience you've gained. Upon hearing this advice, the room goes silent.
Sylvester's report from the Archduke Conference is perhaps the largest plot point of the book. Here, Rozemyne learns who to keep track of, who to watch out for, and who to cozy up to during her next term at the Royal Academy. Can the young woman navigate such nuance when it counts? It's anyone's guess. The same goes for all of those marriage proposals that are flying about, whether for Rozemyne or for her siblings. If the Duchy of Ahrensbach can angle its claws around the throat of Ehrenfest, how long until the rogue duchy tightens its grip? And will Rozemyne and her allies discern Ahrensbach's target before it's too late?
