I enjoyed the premise of this series and for the most part the characters and the main plot. However, I felt up until the last 10 chapters there was a bit too much fluff i.e. the santa claus story that focused too much on Chima a character we didn't care about. I also felt the main villain Shefa was introduced so suddenly near the end, and her motivation while understandable was too extreme. did she need to resort to killing both girls to prevent their union? I mean she did wipe out their memories in the past couldn't she have done just that again?
Also, Ariel and Kirara's reunion was too short. The "payout" or conclusion felt rushed. In my mind, there should have been a conversation between both of them that went something like this:
K: so what have you been doing for the past year?
A: Well heaven has been in disarray since our battle and their in need of new fresh leadership, I had to step in and help steer heaven to our new ideals.
K: Ah I see. well it would of been nice to see you even for a bit during that time. eyes avert to the side and she pouts
A: sorry sorry I really wanted to but my duties at as Archangel really kept me In heaven. Believe me I really wanted to see you. I kept thinking about you and what you were doing.
K: yeah...
A: ahaha. I did constantly check reports on your deeds and surprisingly there was no shortage of good deeds coming from you.
K: well old habits are hard to break. also my wish still remained the same. I still wanted to see my angel.
A: ahh now that we're together, I'm not going anymore.
*at this point Ariel looks above Kirara's head to see what her wish is now. It says "To stay together with my angel forever". Ariel smiles and says: "Now that is a wish I can fulfill"
