Rei has gone back to Paradiso, leaving Kilala with the tiara. But when Kilala gets a lead on the seventh princess, she ventures off to find out more. On her adventures, she has some fairy encounters, meets a new princess, and learns of a betrayal.
My least favorite so far. The story was fine. I didn’t necessarily love the messages that Cinderella presents of putting up with abuses, just keep smiling, and hope for a better future. Optimism is fine but I like to see more action.
I also found the gun scene rather odd. Not really sure that was necessary.
Other elements of the story have built well. I’m interested to learn more about Paradiso and see how the seventh princess plotline progresses.
There were also quite a few typos, missing words, and duplicate words. This really took me out of the story.
Nice artwork as always.
Despite this volume’s flaws, I’m planning to finish out the series because I am interested in how it all wraps up.
