Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow, Book 5

Book Review: Nearing the end of a beautiful adventure
Summary: 5 Stars

In this volume, the last-but-one of the Cardcaptor Sakura series, we get the conclusion of Sakura's outward battles to convert the Clow Cards into Star Cards, and the climactic battle between herself and Eriol (who we already know is the one causing problems for her).

As well as the battle (which is pretty spectacular- but then, this IS Clamp we're talking about), we find out the reasons behind what Eriol was doing, and a major plot twist that was not in the anime- this was something that caught me completely by surprise, as I'd seen the anime before reading the manga.

Personally, I don't understand why this twist wasn't put into the anime, but oh well, I really appreciated it here. ^_^

There is some development of the ongoing 'situation' between Syaoran and Sakura as well, and the ending of this volume leaves you waiting for a conclusion of all of Sakura's- and the other characters'- inner, abstract battles and worries, now that the more tangible ones have been finished with.

It's the anticipation of these other loose ends of the series- the relationships and couplings that have been previously hinted at or developed- that will leave you dying for the final volume (it did with me, anyway), so I'd advise you to get volume 6 at the same time as this one, if you can.

There isn't really much else to say: the artwork is just as beautiful as all the rest of this series, and there is just as much cuteness, though perhaps a little more action and seriousness compared to other volumes in the series, since this *does* cover the 'final battle', as it were.

Ah, and the bonus card in this one is of Clow Reed, in case you were wondering.

If you're following this manga series, you certainly can't go without this volume. A must-have for all Clamp and Sakura fans. ^_^
