Congrats on finishing the Smile Precure Novel review! Or reviews, plural, in this case! XD

When I first discovered the '10 years in the future' setting was all but a giant simulation, I was flabbergasted! Shocked, angry, outraged! AND, truth be told, I was scared. I was really REALLY scared. I was scared that everything I read was for nothing, that everything that had happened in the story was akin to a bad dream that can be brushed under the rug when it's all said and done, like none of it ever happened and has zero consequences on the girls. But...in the end, when the story truly came to an end, I was glad. I was glad the girls got an ending that befit what they have learnt and experienced in that dark future, that none of it had gone to waste.

Speaking of the ending, I REALLY enjoyed the imagery it was trying to portray. Five girls and their fairy lying on that green grass hill, with the soft wind caressing their cheeks as the blue sky fades to a starry night...it was almost as if the girls were already in a fairy tale themselves, one that was to conclude with them ready to march forward, no matter what awaited them in the future. Their story ends with a hint of hope in the uncertain darkness, and with it, a touching goodbye to everyone who followed their stories. (I also loved that letter at the end! Miyuki's character was just so good in a fun way, and it's truly bittersweet to say goodbye to her in the end. I'm gonna miss her, but I know she'll always live on in my heart. :D )
