sleeping beauty's a tricky fairytale for me because i'm drawn to it in a way that keeps me imagining ways to fix it. It pains me to give such a harshly negative review on a series I love so much, but the only good thing I can say about this volume is that I was happy it ended this story arc.ĭid you see all the fractured sleeping beauty stuff going in this volume? i'm into it. I didn't like the look of the new guardians, either. It's a classic case of too many cooks in the kitchen (or too many characters in the book). If every chunk of rock in the universe has a sailor guardian, that really diminishes the power and importance of the planetary guardians. The introduction of dwarf planet and asteroid sailor guardians was completely unnecessary and just too much. While the previous volume made up for a dull, superficial enemy with absolutely superb character development, this volume didn't even have that to hold it together. Nothing felt original, the dream/nightmare sequences were confusing and difficult to follow, I often couldn't tell what was happening in the physical world and what was happening in the dreams.
The Dark Moon plot was all together lackluster and almost a carbon copy of the popular fairytale of Sleeping Beauty. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the case with this volume. After being blown away by the arc involving the introduction of Sailor Saturn, I feared that the series would only go downhill from there since that arc was just so perfect, I couldn't see how it could possibly be topped.
