Angel Sanctuary T19

By Kaori Yuki

Life as an angel can be hell

The angel Alexiel loved God, but she rebelled against Heaven when she saw how disgracefully the other angels were behaving. She was finally captured, and as punishment sent to Earth to live an endless series of tragic lives. She now inhabits the body of Setsuna Mudo, a troubled teen in love with his sister Sara. Setsuna's misery mirrors the chaos among the angels, and their combined passions threaten to destroy both Heaven and Earth.

The war of angels against demons reaches its climax, as all the players converge on the Tower of Etenamenki, where lies the Tablet of Heaven--the key to unlimited power. Having fought their way through the Gate, Setsuna and his crew find that Lucifer and High Angel Rosiel are already inside. Meanwhile, Sara, possessed by Angel of the Apocalypse Sandalphon, has made her own way to the Tower. Rosiel plans to use the tablet to control the universe. Sandalphon wants the power to unleash the Apocalypse, while Setsuna wants to repair and restart the human world. Who will reach the Tablet first--those who want to destroy the world, or those who want to save it?

Loved it

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

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!

Can't wait until the end

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.)
