Didn't like that much, kinda confussing, but I think will get better on the next books (hope so.) On the other hand, GORGEOUS ART.
No me gustó de todo, es algo confuso, pero creo que se pondrá mejor en los próximos libros (espero). Por otra parte, EXCELENTE ARTE.

This was a re-read.

I remember enjoying this when I read it back when it first came out. I did enjoy it again this time.

Beautiful gowns but confusing plot and characters who look the same.

this sure was made in the early 00s. it's been on my tbr since then and i can't believe i found a (pretty battered) copy through ILL to read. i like the concept and teen me would've eaten up the art and story, but now it feels like that overdramatic supernatural plot that was so common back then. there's a main character with a heavy destiny they don't know, surrounded by mysterious figures who may or may not be good, and their past is also kind of a mystery. i'm glad i read it to assuage my curiosity, but i'm good.

This story had so much potential. The concept of beautiful beings granting wishes is a good base, and it could have gotten better with the twist that the Alichino aren't as good as you would think. However, the story fell flat. The characters are uninteresting and the plot became uninspiring. I won't even bother reading the next volume.

Still as incredibly confusing as the first volume.
