We are back at it again with the light novels in this fifth episode of AGBC Part V: The Reading Experience. This time, we’re reading Victoria of Many Faces, the story of a former spy trying to start a new life in another country. Topics include inevitable comparisons to Spy x Family, dissatisfaction in the workplace, and Italian grandmothers. Post in the Discord or pop off in the comments below on anything and everything AGBC and maybe we’ll talk about it on the next episode.
