I loved the progression to the overall story arc in this book, you can really feel Reki weaving all the threads together. I look forward to being able to read the entire series in a nursing home one day... I had been worried about Eydis and Mito's canon integrations but it was well done, if a little bit of a jump intensity wise.
Comparative to the end of the last few Unital Ring cliffhangers, the Mutasina reveal gave me a feeling more like closure than frustration.
