Although, the entire Angel Sanctuary series gets a 5+ stars from me, this is not really one of the better volumes. I guess I was expecting the 19th to at least answer some questions and save the rest for the 20th. Instead, it answered practically nothing and added yet more confusing stuff for the 20th book to explain. I really was fairly confused by it. It's one of those volumes that feels like a "transition" between two novels: more to set up for the next one rather than have much significance in and of itself. Of course, I guess that is the genius of Kaori Yuki: to keep us anxiously waiting for what is to come.

This volume contains a few Alexiel flash-backs but they are rather vague and though Alexiel might know more than she's letting on, Setsuna is thoroughly confused by what he sees (as am I). We find out a little bit about Alexiel and Lucifer's first meeting (although it's only a few pages long and doesn't go into all that much detail). A rather surprising character does appear (which most fans of the story will probably like). Sara, possessed by Sandalphon, wanders around trying to get to Entemenki, killing everyone in her path. Probably the most interesting turn of events happens with Katan, who realizes where Rosiel has gone, and abandons his post and everything, his mind solely bent on finding and saving Rosiel. He says, "Its the reason I was born into this world." However, overall, not that much truly happens.

I can't wait for the next one. It's sure to be good. (The very last page of the 19th is very, very surprising and a total cliff-hanger.)

I love anime and will always like the sanctuary series. My mom bought it for me and i love it

I love the Angel Sanctuary series. Some things about it are kind of hard to understand. This book is one of the best in the series, though you should probably read them in order if you want to know what's really going on in the story. Very nice!
