Okay, so the dream premise is bizarre but I don’t hate it? I love my outer scouts and their beautiful little fam. I love Haruka so much. But here’s the thing.

Thank goodness for this unicorn prince because the Electra complex stuff is just TOO INTENSE and Mamoru, who is usually so perceptive and empathetic, is SO OBLIVIOUS. It is veeery uncomfortable.

5 > 4.5 stars.
The Dead Moon Circus is fully in town and with it begins the monster of the chapter sailor senshi of the week segments. Along with some other things of course as we see how Dead Moon Circus wiggles its way into the town. I found it hilarious that the girls fell so easily for the tricks (especially Ami and Mako). You would think you know that the circus is up to something shady and just not go near it… but these girls purposely go to places owned by the circus. sighs
I was a bit put-off again when Chibi-Usa commented that she looked good and her dad (Mamo) said she looked pretty. EHHHHHHH>.<. I also got pissed at Mamo-chan at how he protected his daughter over Usagi. Yes, she is lonely, yes, she is unhappy. But you are in a freaking relationship with someone, if she expresses that she would like some more attention, which if valid given how Chibi just wanders in at any time and forces her way in, don’t act like this.

I would argue this is one of the best arcs in the Sailor Moon series since it tackles each character's insecurities in a realistic and hopeful way. It also finally lets goes of the awkward dynamics between Chibiusa and Mamoru, which is just a blessing. The main villains of this particular novel in this arc are the Dead Moon Circus troupe, who I just find fun and engaging. It brings the overall tone of what's an otherwise dark arc to a lighter note.

Reading this was a power struggle. It was the same plot from previous books.

Great continuation of the story about the "Dead Moon Circus"!

Things I loved the most in this volume:
- every Sailor senshi shows a more powerful strength
- a whole chapter dedicated to the outer Senshi
- Chibiusa's love life
