This volume has everything I loved from the first two. There's no baking competition this time--instead, Peony is baking for a fancy jubilee hosted by a space empress! It's crucial that everything goes perfectly. Of course, that's not what happens. In fact, the empress is poisoned, and now it's a murder(-ish) mystery! This is a fun little puzzle set on a spaceship that is part plant.

I also really enjoyed Peony and Neptunia's developing relationship. We get a glimpse into Neptunia's past that explains why she's so guarded and secretive. There is no drama here, though; they continue to be a happy, adorable couple.

If you are looking for a cute, cozy, comforting queer read, I can't recommend Space Battle Lunchtime enough. Will this be the real final volume? I can't find any information on there being a volume 4, but there was also 3 years between volumes 2 and 3, so that's not saying much. Whether this is a charming epilogue to the original story or the beginning of an ongoing series, I am a big fan.

Full review is at the Lesbrary.
