The tensions that were boiling over last volume have finally blown over the top. The Nation of Atlas is stuck between a three-way war. Ironwood and his military, Salem and her forces, and Team RWBY and friends.

Everyone's thoughts and feelings on how to proceed forward are just as divided causing our heroes to make some tough choices.

This volume was massive in both scale and what it wanted to accomplish. And for all of that, I think it managed these goals rather well. The chaos and stress the characters were in and under was very evident from even the start. Couple that with hard-hitting reveals and powerful moments and surprises and it was a fantastic volume. Only thing it could have done differently is let a couple of moments breathe a little longer, but, other than that, another great volume!
