Thankfully, I found this one to be better than the last. There are still some parts where I honestly question why it was even in there in the first place.

It is a fantasy/contemporary series (at the time it was published, anyways) so there are some crazy magical bits included. I found whenever there was action, it was wildly and confusingly done because of the magic and paneling.

I did like some parts of it though. The scene when they are writing notes to each other in a notebook felt well done and natural, which is surprising because a lot of Watase’s works don’t feel natural.

This second volume is really good! We go more into the back story of Kyo! He had a rough family life when he was little, this volume explores that. We also meet a new playboy character named Frey! He's a funny character! I really like how this series explores the darkness in people's hearts! I recommend this series if you like fantasy romance.

in which we discover that alice's self-proclaimed fiance is a lotis master named frey and the gang's plan to save mayura is waylaid by oishi, who, after failing to steal kyo for herself, tells everyone at school the terrible thing kyo did once. and she's evil. and the lotis gang has to go into her heart and rescue her from mara. and then they still need to get mayura. and kyo drops a startling confession on alice.

the fantasy aspect of this one almost totally lost me. i don't understand how they journey into people's hearts, or what the rules are for using the lotis words...or why frey has no trouble using the lotis words at first but later he's not supposed to because he's still in training? everything seems to be happening at complete random.

BUT the goofy little floating bunny makes me laugh. and kyo and alice seem to be workin something out.

I'm so glad I'm rereading! In this book we get to know Frey who had a last second appearance in the first book and is another lotis master. We learn there are both light and dark words and more drama ensues!
