I was disappointed.
While the first volume was fairly light and often cutesy, it always came back to the central plot and the drama inherent to the dragonkin society. Part two seems almost aggressively uninterested in whatever plot hooks, drama, or mystery it presents to us, or has presented before.
Story: Your husband faces a strong opposition from the nobles, and also somebody tried to kill you.
Protagonist: I know what to do! I'll develop a hot springs resort!
Story: Your host has probably tried to get rid of you by telling you the weather's good when they knew a blizzard's coming.
Protagonist: Huh. Anyway, should the main dish sold at the resort be a mushroom sandwich, or a mushroom sandwich with cheese?
Protagonist: My husband is from a long-lived people, he'll most likely survive me, isn't that sad?
Story: Nope, by marrying him your life expectancy was automatically extended to match his.
Volume 1: Changing into dragons, and especially changing back, is a big deal! It's pretty tiring and dangerous and there are tons of social customs around it.
Volume 2: Nah, everybody changes there and back all the time and there won't be even a mention of any potential downside to it.
And so on, and so on.
The first volume was of the flawed, but charming and entertaining variety. This one is, like, if you're not interested in your own plot, why should I be?
