There hasn't exactly been a nihilism, nor a real care for the world, with our narrator thus far. He's an assassin, and his strength is that he's logical and calculated, which can imply a coldness, though he's appreciated the richness of life in measures or through various avenues of compartmentalization. Here, he begins to take on the inverse, taken over by the politics of the world. It's neither good nor bad. It simply is. It's just a character shift, really, or at least a shift in character focus. It just seemed a rather sudden development, or perhaps our character saw a wickedness in all things once he was personally wronged. He's still him at his core, but what he considers his operation has substantially expanded.

Volume 3 of this series is about the 3 times the amount of volume one. Part 1 and 2 of this are pretty good and adds more and more to the character, but part 3 has almost nothing going on, and is just more of a setup for volume 4. Still a good read if you liked 1 and 2 though.
