This was not what I thought it was going to be at all. The novella length is not doing this book any favors. I'm not expecting a grand in depth adventure but I at least expect a compelling story and interesting characters. This had none of those. Everything in this book feels so flat and bland. None of the characters are interesting, forget any of them being likeable. This book is not an ode to the magical girl genre, it barely qualifies as being in the genre at all.

1.5-2-ish stars. I'm really disappointed. The middle-grade Sailor Moon novelizations are better than this
