Not a lot of import occured in this volume of the series, but I still found it entertaining because the crew got to rob a library! Not that I agree with robbing libraries (they really should have asked nicely), but such is life when they're hell-bent on recovering all of Princess Sakura's memory feathers! ( )

Crossposted at Bookstooge.booklikes.blogspot.wordpress.com by express permission of this reviewer Synopsis Sakura, Syaoran and Co go to a world that has a giant library full of books of magic. And one of them has Sakura's feather/memory. Volume 13 deals with a little side story about Kurogane and Volume 14 sees the feather recovered and the group onto the next world. My Thoughts Contrary to my expectations [I stopped reading the series back in October '12], I actually enjoyed reading these volumes. Part of that was that these 2 volumes were a single story with an intro into the next story. Volume 13 is about Lee seeing Kurogane's past and seeing the events that have turned him into the warrior and killer that he is. It cements the whole Sensei/Grasshopper thing that Lee and Kurogane have. In the next volume we see the team actually getting Sakura's feather and fighting off the guardians set in place to protect it. There are several interludes where we see Syaoran's double [with the eyepatch], Wei-Fang Reed and Yuko the Timewitch. Wei-Fang obviously has some big plan that involves Clow Reed's legacy and Sakura and her memories are somehow tied into it as well. We'll see how CLAMP does with small stories for each volume or 3 and the larger story over a longer range. Honestly, I feel like I've missed nothing by not remembering much from volumes 2-12. Not exactly a stellar endorsement is it? Rating: 3 of 5 Stars Artist & Author: CLAMP " ( )

Things certainly have gotten more serious since leaving Piffle world. Kurogane now has added incentive to help with Sakura's quest, Syaoran manifests a scary side and Fai is making excuses to break his vow of no magic.

As a whole I would certainly say this series gets better as it goes on. I still find it fascinating that you can get such a fully developed sense of character from just drawings and limited text. It is funny how the mind seems to fill in the blanks. Tsubasa is certainly one of my favorite manga series so far and I continue to recommend it! ( )
