Still going...

A little better than the previous book. Although I didn't care much for the play, the overall plot is slowly being revealed by Kero and Mizuki. It's getting darker and darker as the pages progress. By this time, we're still not sure whether Mizuki is a good person (or so thinks Sakura) or someone evil (or so thinks Shaoran). Good stuff.

The first story has the Kinomoto family, along with Yukito, going to their summer house. At the summer house, Sakura meets an affable old man and spends some time with him. It's later revealed that he's her great-grandfather. Second story has Sakura's class doing a play, Sleeping Beauty. She's the prince, and Shaoran is the sleeping beauty. During the play, she gets engulfed by darkness all alone. After some despair, she gains her confidence and the opposite card, Light appears to cancel out Dark. They tell her about her judgement day by Yue. Meanwhile, Mizuki and Kero have met and they mention Yue as well. The next story occurs in a restuarant where the main characters discuss what's been going on, including the topic of Yue.
