I called it on the discussion for the previous chapter, didn't I (ignoring my failure at what volume we were on)? It just seems like everything is coming together all of a sudden. The next few chapters will determine in which direction this series goes in if it continues, or on what note it will end on.
The chapter itself was exciting, and had a good deal of information in it, but it didn't seem to progress us too significantly. It's another of those 'over the course of a few minutes' chapters. I can't wait to see what happens next.
