Book Review: Cardcaptor Sakura Vol. 4


Review:  #155
Title:  Cardcaptor Sakura Vol. 4
Series:  Cardcaptor Sakura - 4th volume
Author:  Clamp
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  A great volume with great stories.  It continues on from Volume 3 with the capturing of the Maze card, which was pretty nice, but wasn't spectacular, the way it was resolved felt a bit cheaty, but hey, it works, as it provides a sense of mysteriousness to Mizuki (who seems to be very powerful).  The next two chapters are where the volume shines, both in terms of what happens and the atmosphere, the personalities of the characters shines through, there is a lot of great humour, and the relationships between each character grows and develops.  This is also one of the more interesting Clow Cards too, the Erase card, where it starts to ‘erase’ everyone and make them disappear, I couldn't guess which card it could be when the students started disappearing.  The final chapter wasn't bad as such, the Clow Card is a boring one (since it has a ‘gentle’ personality’), but it really focuses on the relationships and rivalry of Sakura and Li anyway, and it was well played here.  All in all, I was hooked into this volume and enjoyed it a lot.
