Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Magic Knight Rayearth 1

Book Review: "Please save Cephiro, girls from another world!"
Summary: 4 Stars

Emeraude has been kidnapped, and it's up to Hikaru, Fuu and Umi to save her and keep Cephiro from crumbling. To do so, they have to fight their way past the minions of Zagato, a rogue priest and Emeraude's kidnapper with sword, spell and something called the Mashin....

Can the girls rescue the princess and save Cephiro? What the heck are the Mashin anyway? And just when will Umi calm down? All these answers and more in the wonderful Magic Knight Rayearth!

That's the first three book story arc. The second involves a fight between a handful of nations outside Cephiro and the Magic Knights over who gets to be the new Pillar of Cephiro. Another hard fight for the Knights, and a strange secret about who or what Mokona actually is comes to light...

Obligatory synopsis aside, though, I am a little disappointed with one thing - and only one - about this particular edition of MKR. The translators are out to lunch. Some character names are spelled wrong, Fuu's speech should be far more formal than it is (she uses a very formal Japanese dialect that doesn't even have contractions), and some of the word choices are a little weird. Even so, this is still well worth the read, and I suggest you pick it up as soon as possible!
