I see a lot of positive, "I love Sakura!" type reviews. I would love to have read the book they experienced, because this one sidelines Sakura until the final third so that she can channel her inner anger-strength but only after being captured and humiliated by the big bad. Her only role until then is pining after Sasuke. In fact, Sasuke's absence is more of a focal point of the plot than Sakura for much of the story. I like her method of winning the climactic fight, but it comes after following Sai and Kakashi for more than a little while. Isn't she in the title and cover?

Having said that, I liked that mental health was taken seriously in this magic ninja world.

10/10. This story is amazing because it allows Sakura to shine. It dives into her thoughts, her wants, and accomplishments. She is my favorite and I love her. <3

I have really, really enjoyed the Naruto light novels - they're like paying a visit to old friends.

I really do love Sakura as a character, although I can't really support her Sasuke obsession. I guess we'll see where it goes. *sigh*

It did really tick me off a few times in the series where Kishimoto chose to write Sakura to be less awesome than I wanted her to be.... but overall I think this book's story really allowed her to step up and do great things. I'm so proud of her! (See?? The feelings I have for these characters....)

Alllllso really enjoying what's going on with Ino, haha.
