Alice 19th, Vol. 1 by Yuu Watase
3.0
3.5 stars. Let's consider this my review for the entire 7-volume series.
This is my kind of series. I greatly enjoyed the concept of the power of words presented in this shojo fantasy tale and I generally felt its exploration was well executed. The love triangle was interesting and I enjoyed the characters. My one comlaint - the ending felt rather rushed. I would have liked to see greater development of some of the masters introuced in the last few volumes, and I'm not sure that the impact of the "lost words" was nearly as significant as it could have been. Maybe it was the fact that I read the last volume pretty late at night, but I just didn't get it. Oh well. It was fun anyway.
