Review: Last Exile #4

[Paul]

I've just posted my review on the fourth volume of ADV's swash-buckling fantasy Last Exile, out on UK DVD now.<ul class="menu">While Last Exile #4 contains none of the sheer excitement seen in previous volumes, fans of this series should enjoy watching the story develop and seeing their favourite characters continue to grow and change. The wonderfully handled flashback to the young lives of Claus and Lavie was a particular high point and with the epic scale of Last Exile set to explode in the next volume as Sophia becomes the Queen of Anatorary, I am still thoroughly enjoying this exciting, romantic journey.</ul><a href="http://www.animeuknews.net/viewreview.php?showreview=152">Read the full review.</a>

As I said in the main Last Exile thread, this volume felt a little rushed to me. Revelations and personality changes seemed to happen instantaniously, and this I found rather irritating. While I still enjoyed it, mainly down the to the excellent cast, I felt this volume was lacking a lot compared to the previous three.
