Yeah. There was a reason I picked this one up from the library instead of buying it myself. I'd heard this volume was a big dip in quality and that ended up being accurate. 
 This was such an incoherent mess. The pacing doesn't work at all because there isn't sufficient build-up to any of the major character moments. I'm talking specifically about Hannah here, who does this baffling 180 in like 5 pages. Also, everything felt unnecessarily gratuitous in this volume, in a way that it hadn't before. It just didn't sit right with me at all. And like, upon reflection, I sort of have to wonder if that's the problem not having a female writer for this series. 
 So yeah. I'm out.
