This one goes heavy into the myth arc. It's a heavy revelation and a glimpse at what lies in store for our heroes. I thought this Labyrinth Country was a "world between the worlds" sort of place, but now I'm not so sure.
The last volume ended with a boss fight cliffhanger, and this volume delivers on the conclusion of that fight. It is really cool to see everyone's morale discharges (a limit break by another name). This volume does NOT end on a cliffhanger, which is nice.
There's also a prequel side-chapter that expands on Misaka and Suzuna's lives before reincarnating. Like Arihito and Kyouka, they knew each other, and what's more, they were really good friends. It's a sweet friendship chapter, but it's also intense emotionally. These two friends are Chaos and Order, respectively, and this single chapter illustrates the pros and cons of such lifestyles, and how friendship evens out the cons, beautifully. If I think about it too much, I get emotional, seriously, I do.
Art continues to be good. The boss fight, exciting. Aftermath, spooky. Character emotions, yes, well done.
