This story gets more complex as we learn more about the magic system and the characters themselves. There was a lot of personal growth and development in Kyo especially. The more it goes on, the better it's gonna get. Overall, I just can't wait to keep reading.
THIS TIME MAYURA IS THE ONE BEHIND THE MARA

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!

I’m liking this series so far. I liked learning more about Kyo. My only complaint is that Frey’s harassment is always brushed off even when Alice or Kyo get violent to get him to stop. Maybe they need to go into his inner heart and find out why he’s such an ass.

Rating: 3/5

We get much more explanation of what a Lotus Master is in this second volume, along with a whole bunch of typical shoujo silliness.

The addition of a new male character was unexpected, but pretty funny. He seems like he will be a foil to Kyo's character.

This series is reminding me of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles because of its characters and tone, and also QQ Sweeper because of its plot.
