IN this 2nd volume, there are three countries warring for control of the mystical land of Cephiro, and it's up to the Legendary Magic Knights to protect the country they have come to love. But within Cephiro there are still mysteries to be solved, and possible spies within the palace. If the Magic Knights can't find someone to take on the role of the Pillar, Cephiro will slowly crumble into nothing and be destroyed.

There are a lot of flashbacks that show the backstory of some mysterious side characters, and how they connect to the original Pillar of Cephiro. Those who were close to the former Princess are dedicated to protecting Cephiro, but they are reluctant to establish a new Pillar.

I enjoyed this story, but it had all the same problems as the previous volumes. The main three characters do have a little character development in this one, and they solidify their motivations for fighting for their friends, but all the characters are very one-dimensional and static.
I love the pretty artwork, but the action panels are so busy and confusing that I can barely tell what is going on.
Still, it's a fun and easy read, and kept my interest!
