Definitely for children & it most certainly butchered Sailor Moon’s plot for American audiences 😂 “They were frozen and sent to Earth” rather than reincarnated lol.

I read this book because I have heard a lot about Sailor Moon, but never knew the story behind it. I thought it would be interesting to read this story because it was so short.

I remember in grade school me and a couple of my friends were so in love with sailor moon. We all had the books and we discussed them and went to each others housed to watch the shows and the movies. This is one of the book that got me into reading.

This adaptation has a problem: Darien isn't in the same school as Serena.

Looking past that, I liked it okay. The R series is among my favorites, especially the first half with Alan and Anne and a Doom Tree. Lunar Mind Meld!

No Rating because I just don't think it's fair for me to judge a book made for such a younger audience. Very cute, though!

This review will be for the entire series (4 books). These books are written with a younger audience in mind, but the author seems to only have the most basic idea of the series she's writing about. The dialogue and characterization was crap.

There's a new danger coming forth from the Negaverse in the form of Alan and Anne, so Luna reluctantly restores Serena's powers to become Sailor Moon , so that she can defeat and destroy their cardian.

I read this online at Miss-Dream.
