Mercury Rising

This was a very good book, and I enjoyed it. I don't agree with anyone who says that this book only gets 1 or 2 stars. I give it 5 stars because it is very interesting. Especially the Saffron chapter.

Okay, I know that most of you otakus out there might buy this expecting it to be like the original manga or show. But in all reality, it most likely won't turn out that way. Why? For one simple reason: all of the novels now written by Lianne Sentar are done so by an original Otaku and fanfic writer. Fanfic writer, you ask? A fanfic writer is someone who writes stories about the original characters, keeping them in character or going on a total tangent. I have read some of Lianne-sama's original fanfics, and if they are any indication as to her writing talents, then I would definatly say you should pick up her novels. As for the other guy... well, I don't know about him. Support fanfic writers everywhere by buying Lianne-sama's Sailor Moon novels! ...

This was over all a good book. Compared to the last two books, it was much better, probably because the job of writing the books was passed from Stuart B. Levy to Liane Sentar. The book is based more on the DiC series than anything. The frequent mentionings of brand names and celebrities became quite annoying, but even the avid Sailor Moon fan, like myself, enjoyed it a lot. It was fun going through to see how well it followed the episodes and how Americanized it was, but it was well written and would be given a better rating from a person that had not heard of Sailor Moon before. The best thing to do is to sit back and let the story envelope you and try to forget that it's something you've heard of before. I like it, and I hope everyone else does. Good job Lianne Sentar!
