Magic Knight Rayearth Vol.3 Book

In this volume, the three girls are well on their way to becoming Legendary Magic Knights, but in order to reach their full power, they must awaken the three mysterious Mashin to aid them in their fight against evil Zagato. The girls must each prove themselves to be worthy of the Mashin, and show that their hearts are strong.

I wasn't really sure what happened at the end of this volume. The action panels are so busy and confusing, and then it ended so quickly. Well, it was certainly a surprising twist at the end that made up for how predictable the rest of the plot was.

I really loved the artwork of the Mashin, beautifully elegant and regal figures! And I loved how the girls' armor evolves and changes with their character development. But the girls are still very one-sided characters, and I wish they had more depth. The villain is a very boring character; no depth, no development, almost no dialogue. It makes the big battle at the end sort of a let-down.

But I'm glad that I read it! There were many parts of the story that I enjoyed!
