3.0

I have really enjoyed the Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt series, it's gritty, has interesting and sympathetic characters, and the action sequences are awesome. The biggest weakness of the series is that it can be very tough to tell apart the sides during conflicts. This weakness really came to the forefront in this 3rd installment of the series.

The Federation and Zeon forces have horrifically battered each other. The lines of combat are confused and mixed, because of this the troops themselves are not always obvious, with the line between prisoner and victor tough to tell apart.

The end of this volume pulled the narrative back together enough to sell it to me, but in the middle I was extremely confused.
