He calls her an idiot often and it's generally well deserved. Why, yes, crazy Duke, even though you've threatened to keep me prisoner or beat me, I said I'd make you a sugar sculpture of your dead fairy wife that you want to bring back from the dead so by jiminy, I'll do it even though an army is surrounding your castle and is probably about to bust in and kill us all. She's supposed to be as saccharine sweet as the sugar she sculpts but...maybe I'm old, but she just seems wilfully stupid.
And while I like Challe (the warrior fairy)...actually, maybe that's part of it. He's more interesting than she is, but it's more her story.
And the villains--of which there are many--actually...nearly everyone she meets, including the 'childhood friend' who first follows her to say he wants to marry her and then steals from her, tries to kill her, lies about her to everyone, threatens her, etc. etc. and...nothing happens to him. The last episode I watched didn't have him (Jonas) in it and I felt palpable relief he wasn't there...but I knew he was going to turn up again like a bad penny.
I was feeling a lot of things about the episodes so I looked up some summaries of how things wind up and, meh, I decided to just give up. I'm not going to go into more than that.
The voice acting is good. The art is good. I think it had potential but it was making me more annoyed than anything else. So am I glad I watched it? No, though I'm not mad either. There were a few nice moments and, like I said, the design and art is good. But, no, not going to finish it or watch any bits again. I'll just make up a story in my head for Challe. Maybe he just needs to be isekai'd somewhere decent.
