Going off from the reviews I did for the previous two volumes, the giant infodumps continue to be tiring, even if I appreciate the historical research and strive for accuracy on that front.
I think the blend of PMMM-style storytelling with the history is handled somewhat better in this volume, and I did enjoy the continuing conflict between the two factions of magical girls and how that's written as impacting the two sides of the war.
Again however, Jeanne herself barely feels like a character, and that's not changed from the previous volume. I really hope this improves in the last two volumes.
