review 1: I think, like all other of Tezuka's books, that the story was very intriguing, unique, and appealing to audiences of all ages (although more inclined towards younger readers since the story is a little too fairy tale centered). There is action, suspense, and many twists that makes the story not just a simple princess-like tale. Unfortunately, the only thing that I did not like from this book and which also made me feel very uncomfortable were the segregated concepts of masculinity and femininity. Tezuka portrayed them as very stereotypical-like which would not fit in with the standards of today's. Just keep this in mind as you're reading, otherwise you may feel the need to strangle the author himself for his narrow view of gender.
review 2: The closing chapters... more of this saga remain fun and engaging, but definitely stumble a bit near the end. The story continues the saga of Sapphire as she tries to reclaim her throne, save her princes and foil her enemies' plans. While the story remains past paced and relatively light, there as still quite a few tragic deaths of beloved characters, which never feel meaningless. The art remains beautiful and the translation solid. I was delighted to read such an avant garde book, that is still enjoyable, readable and serves as a very positive references for young female leads. This is definitely a book I enjoyed as a child but appreciated as an adult. Definitely recommended for fans of classic manga, comics, kids and adults who want a great read. less
