Okay, this feels more like the quality we have come to know and love in the beginning.

The story feels slowed than a bit, even if you jump between the threads of the story you don't feel as lost anymore. There is so much more emotion in this one, even if there is war going on. 

The art as always is amazing and unique and beautiful. 

Hoping this trend continues in volume 6

This one was really well done but woe.... its really gritty. It sure doesn't shy away from the horrors of war.

This one is definitely one of my faves in the series. It is action-packed, balanced with some emotional scenes and internal struggles. I can't wait for the next installment!
