Another lackluster volume that follows the characters around as they start plans to put on a rave -- but an officially sanctioned one that involves touring a venue with a government official. That's the level of excitement.

The secret relationship reveal at the end of the last volume has little impact and is mostly handled off-screen or through third parties. What a letdown.

If the next volume weren't the conclusion, I'd stop reading the series here. Still, I doubt it's going to get better. ( )
