First off Chrono Crusade is an awesome series. In this volume you find out what happened 50 years ago and why Chrono was in the grave. Rosette dives right into Chrono's soul and they barely make it out. I can't give out anymore spoilers except Father Remington tries to kill Chrono. All in all this volume explains a great deal of what Chrono (and maybe Rosette) had to go through.

One of my favorite stories. The author has a way of making you get attached to his characters. More than worth the money to own.

Chrono's consciousness has fully submerged into his past memories, putting him in a coma-like state. Rosette is trying a desperate gambit of sending herself into those memories at the risk of losing her own mind via Ghost in the Shell-like technology that surely was not available in 1920s America. While sharing the mind meld with Chrono, she learns a lot about his past as she bears silent witness to events that happened over 50 years ago. At that time Chrono and Aion were good friends wandering the American West, or at least close allies along with other Sinners who had revolted against the status quo that their own brethren had long accepted. They are looking for the head of Pandemonium but to find it and bring their plans of unrestricted freedom to fruition, they have to kidnap Mary Magdalene, a young girl being protected by the Order. Chrono is the one sent to take her but little does he know that this girl will change the way he views not only the human world, but also that of his fellow demons! But in the real world time is running out on him and Rosette, because both of their souls will become lost if she can't revive him in time.

I enjoyed this 6th volume of Chrono Crusade because it added another layer of depth to Chrono. Up till now, Rosette had been the one getting the most backstory and conflict. Even Satella seemed to have more motivation and reasoning behind her actions than Chrono. The memories also rose more questions about Rosette, particularly why she looks just like Mary. You begin to feel as though in this volume Chrono and Rosette are beginning to fight not only against the forces of Aion, but against Fate itself. Most of the characters in this series seemed to have been picked by Destiny to fulfill a certain role, and the trick and entertainment of it is to see if they can fight against this fate and attain some level of happiness at the end of the day.
This volume continues the high quality I've become accustomed to. Good read!
