5.0

Great continuation of the story about the "Dead Moon Circus"!

Things I loved the most in this volume:
- every Sailor senshi shows a more powerful strength
- a whole chapter dedicated to the outer Senshi
- Chibiusa's love life

Okay, so the dream premise is bizarre but I don’t hate it? I love my outer scouts and their beautiful little fam. I love Haruka so much. But here’s the thing.

Thank goodness for this unicorn prince because the Electra complex stuff is just TOO INTENSE and Mamoru, who is usually so perceptive and empathetic, is SO OBLIVIOUS. It is veeery uncomfortable.

I would argue this is one of the best arcs in the Sailor Moon series since it tackles each character's insecurities in a realistic and hopeful way. It also finally lets goes of the awkward dynamics between Chibiusa and Mamoru, which is just a blessing. The main villains of this particular novel in this arc are the Dead Moon Circus troupe, who I just find fun and engaging. It brings the overall tone of what's an otherwise dark arc to a lighter note.

Reading this was a power struggle. It was the same plot from previous books.
