It's a Step Forward for Sakura

Well, I have to tell you, as much as I love this series, the one thing that's irked me ever so slightly is Sakura's passivity, especially after the gutsy, caring, athletic, bubbly Sakura Kinomoto of Cardcaptor Sakura fame. It's less that I consider her a wimp than I feel like since she's unable to stay awake for long she hasn't had much of a chance to show her courage. This finishes up the story of Shura and Shara as well as the gods Ashura-o and Yasha-o, and I particularly enjoyed it as something unexpected and touching simultaneously. Then the group travels off to a new world - one of modernity that is arguably even futuristic, what with its "Dragonflies," small aircraft piloted by a single person that run on batteries but are more affected by wind and weather than anything else. For the first time, Syaoran is the one to wake up last, only to find Sakura and Kurogane off to buy parts for their own Dragonflies that they plan to enter in a race to win one of the feathers. And finally, FINALLY, Sakura gets to participate - this will be a race in which all four of them are entered, not just three. Albeit, Sakura isn't necessarily a skilled pilot... but hey, she's been given a chance! At any rate, I love this series, and if you've enjoyed it thus far, you won't be disappointed in this continuation.
Excellent, but nothing new yet!

This volume finally ends the Shara/Shura arc after three volumes or so, but if you've been following the anime, then don't be expecting the next big arc, because you've already seen what's coming - the next arc is Piffle World. It is nice to have proper closure to the Shara arc, though. That, and the end of the world looks so much better on paper than on the screen, I think.
