Plot wise, everything is coming to a boiling point and there have been some small trinkets of pay-offs set up earlier in the story. I personally believed this to be the final volume until I got hit with a "to be continued..." So it is fair to say it was really engaging.

For this version of the book, the essay provided by Toh Enjoe gives a great insight into the cultural significance of Gundam in japan, and how this book may server as a way to renew the that cultural significance.
