katikatThe Dragonfly Race is set to begin in Piffle World, and the prize for one lucky lightweight aircraft pilot is an amazingly powerful battery in the shape of a feather. But for the four dimension-travelers, and one odd creature named Mokona, who have joined the competition, the feather represents more than energy–it’s one of Princess Sakura’s lost memories! And Sakura’s feather isn’t the only ting at stake. Despite President Tomoyo’s best efforts to protect the race using her wealth and resources, unexpected hazards keep popping up, and the perilous contest could lead to death for unskilled pilots... like the princess!
Review: Boring. After the excitement of the previous volumes, I found this one quite lame. The main plot didn't move forward even a bit. The whole book was just the continuation of the race from the previous volume. The only thing that saved it from being a complete flop was the banter between Fai and Kurogane.
All is not well on Piffle World. The magical land’s most popular sporting event–a race for lightweight aircraft called dragonflies–seems to have been rigged by one of the contestants. But winning the competition is the only way Princess Sakura and her friends can recover one of her precious and powerful memory feathers. The five friends are determined to cross the finish line first, but the cheating is taking its toll–even Fai is out of the running! Can the travelers still win the race and discover who’s behind the booby traps before it’s too late?
Review: I'm so glad that the race arc is over. I think that it was unnecessarily drawn out, it could've been handled in one book. This one had more ties to the main plot but it still wasn't up to the standard of the previous volumes. The best parts were, of course, Fai and Kurogane again. I could read a manga just about those two!
