The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power: Forget My Sister! Turns Out I Was the Real Saint All Along! Vol. 3 by Almond

My Rating: ★★★

Just when Carolina thought things were starting to calm down, her father turned up on official business. It turns out that Archbishop Mills somehow knows that she’s been blessed with divinity, and he wants Carolina returned to Celestia. The royal family thought they had time before people began to figure out that she was blessed with divine power. Little do they know that no one schemes harder than Flora… and now Mills.

While the long-winded flowery writing previously worked really well for this series, it was tragic to see the complete opposite began occur in this volume. Honestly, there was a whole lot of filler in what is otherwise a pretty good story. By the time I was 20% into the book, I was debating on whether or not I wanted to continue because the majority of what I had just read was filler. I wish I was joking, but it was just page after page of long-winded nonsense that should’ve been edited out. This book should’ve hit the ground running and what we got was the exact opposite of that.

Thankfully, it got it together around 35% into the volume. There was still filler here and there, but it was much better than earlier in the book. Plus, the plot started to get rolling and it was quite the read! We’re getting to know many of the characters better than ever, and a few of the characters on Carolina’s side are beginning to show some mean streaks. I’m looking at you, Teo! I also really enjoyed that we jumped around more character POV’s this time around. I hope this continues in the next volume.

All in all, the story was good, but prepare yourself for a lot of unnecessary filler early in the volume. I’m a little scared we’re going to see that happen again in volume four, but I’m going to jump straight into it anyway because I’m so interested in seeing where things are headed. I know Carolina is going to come out on top, but I’m also ready to see Flora going full force with her scheming. Plus, I hope to see their father finally see exactly what had been going on under his nose for years.
