Description: Sheila’s childhood
hasn’t been easily. She was forced into servitude as a young girl and was
eventually told by a demon that she had a particular destiny to fulfill—all of
this lead to her becoming a deadly assassin. She joined an assassins’ guild to
learn her training and has since been put in the house of Prince Edvard to
serve as his housemaid and his personal bodyguard. As she uses her unique talents
to help Edvard claim the throne she is surrounded by a bunch of admirers who want
her heart—yet she has no concept of romance.
Opinion: A new series from
the acclaimed author of the Alice in the Country of . . . series of manga. I’ll
admit that I read this book months ago (in May—I had Summer Reading to do so I
am sooooo behind on my reviews) and while I thought the concept to be
interesting and the art pretty I do remember that I was royally confused half
the time while reading this manga. There are too many characters and they all
look alike so it was very hard to distinguish one from another. Granted, I do
have a teen that is an Alice fan who has read the first volume and loved it, so
I guess to each his own. Hopefully the story gets easier to follow as it goes
on.
