Volume 15 is about the Ishbalan Civil War, so thread with caution

This book focuses a lot on the Ishbalan war which is a big part of the Fullmetal Alchemist lore and extremely important to the story overall. Knowing that I still found a good chunk of the end a little dull. The parts that went dull were overly graphic with their violence, like unnecessarily so.
