Dies irae: Song to the Witch is the second light novel spinoff to Dies irae (the first one being Wolfsrudel, which I have yet to read) and was written by Fujii Sanda, with insert illustrations by Minatogawa Kazuomi, the artist for the Dies irae manga adaptation. As clearly implied by G Yuusuke’s beautiful cover art, the novel features Rusalka and Beatrice as its two main heroines, and chronicles their exploits in the United States of 1962, where they face off against a mysterious new foe: the powerful witch known as Marilyn Monroe.

Anyway, let’s just cut to the chase, because you’re probably wondering if the book was good. Well, it was! More so than I initially expected, to be perfectly honest. In fact, it was quite the page-turner most of the time – I found it pretty engaging from start to finish and read through the entire thing
