This is obviously not a complete review, but my immediate thoughts (in comparison to the two previous volumes) are:

1. The story's pacing is less compelling.
2. Character development feels more forced and less significant.
3. Attitudes of characters we're probably supposed to like are weirdly more inhuman, including Alita herself.
4. The setting's tonal shift from literal "living in a landfill" to "roller derby" is abrupt, jarring, and a touch off-putting.
5. It's still enjoyable enough that I want the next volume. ( )

Alita drowns her sorrows by immersing herself in the deadly sport of motorball, while Doctor Ido schemes to get her back. First part of a story arc that continues in the next volume. ( )
