Princess Ai's quest for knowledge of her past continues, even though her employers at HTA keep her on a tight schedule and don't let her leave the fancy condo they've put her up in. Thankfully Ai has Kent on her side and he manages to get a book of legends about Ai-land to her (go go super librarian!) as well as to talk with her during a radio broadcast to promote her music. These star-crossed lovers can't be kept apart for long though, and they are finally re-united during Ai's dramatic first concert when the Fury who has been chasing her catches up with her.

Even though the storyline is totally engaging - who can resist a story of a rebellious banished princess - what I like best about this series is the beautiful artwork. The costume design is especially gorgeous because it straddles the boundary between punk and angelic glam. Absolutely fabulous, if not actually wearable! ( )

Also not good. ( )

I love the songs and the story line of these books! Though there are only 3 books in the Series, There worth the money to by then! ( )

Princess Ai is now singing for HTA, the hottest talent agency around. They are trying to launch her as the new pop diva sensation. The trouble is, they have her in almost prison conditions. She isn't allowed to the library to see Kent (the guy she has an unusual connection with) which she really wants to do whilst simultaneously not wanting to see him for his protection.

She finds a book containing information about Ai-Land where she is from and it's history, but still has no actual memory besides a few fragmented flashes. She tries to break free of HTA whilst still being pursued by Fury Tess who has been able to track her via the media coverage of her new career, as well as dealing with her new found wings which are steadily expanding. Exactly who and what is Princess Ai?

I liked it much better than the first volume, the story had gotten going and there wasn't the same jumpy feel about it. It was like the writing had relaxed. The illustrations were as beautiful as ever and I really liked the coloured pictures at the beginning. The only thing I am not so keen on is the idea of Princess Ai saving the world with her music. It seems a little egotistical of Courtney Love who the character is based on. ( )
