I don't remember a lot from this part of the story. I know it's a fan favorite, though it's not my favorite arc of Balance. So I wonder if the fact that 1. I don't have a fresh idea of what's going on, 2. I prefer the first few arc had something to do with making me feel like it went by too quickly.
I also feel like there was a lot happening, with a lot of things that needed space visually, but it felt a little cramped at times. But that's issues I faced in other graphic novel & manga, so it's probably more a "me thing" than an issue with the book itself.

Otherwise, unless there's a very major reason, I don't see myself giving any of the books in this series lower than a 3.5 or a 4. It's a good story. There were some clever stuff, both visually and naratively in translating the audio format to paper. I also felt like I could feel more of Magnus anguish that way
