This installment got back to the creepiness of the first two books. Probably my second favorite book in the series, behind only Volume One.

Quick Thoughts:

The weight of the opening story hits every time
The mystery of the town and Addie Clark continues

Spoiler

My poor Vincent, gone too soon and all because of some sabotage
Vincent's death is definitely the turning point of this series

Alice LeGrow, Bizenghast, vol. 4 (Tokyopop, 2007)

The personal touches in vol. 3, it turns out, are the development of story arc rather than just being personal touches, and we find out for certain this whole thing is keyed to Di and Vi, with Edaniel and Edrear as supporting characters (plus, one assumes, the other two gate guardians eventually). This one is more character-based than action-based, which is never a bad thing, and LeGrow pushes the series to new heights here; this is getting really good, like early-issues-of-Bleach-level good. ****
