Dinners with My Darling: How the Former Monster King Ate Her Way to Happiness 2 by Mugi Hanazome
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Abigail is as awkward and childish as ever while endearing those around her and somehow maintaining just enough propriety and aloofness that she comes out on top. Doesn't hurt that she has so many around her that genuinely care for her and are coming to understand her quirkiness, so they can and will step in to help as needed. Even this fourth prince seems to learn some unexpected lessons in his observations and short experience with Abby and her newfound family. The overall story is just as endearing as Abby herself is, but it's also disjointed and awkward, making it difficult to follow at times.

Dinners with My Darling: How the Former Monster King Ate Her Way to Happiness 1

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This starts off a bit slow and can be difficult to follow with the childish way Abigail talks and thinks, though her actions are a mix of her current human life and her memories from being the Monster King. While her new husband originally had no desire for a true relationship with her, it's hard for anyone not to adore her when they learn of her harsh upbringing. Combine her original lacking health or care from her family with her childish joy and cheerfulness, and she quickly finds a place in her new home, though not without a few quirks along the way. Abigail is very easily pacified and motivated by food of all things, though she can't stomach very much when she first arrives. The "little chick" moniker might seem a little strange, but seems to work with her lord husband's childhood and fondness for Piyo that we learn about later (you can infer at least what Piyo was to start with, but this is much clearer in the side story at the end of the volume). Given in many ways Abigail is very much a child still when they marry, it will be interesting to see how she grows, and if she ever loses some of that childish innocence that has her blurting out some things that maybe she should really keep to herself.
