I really enjoyed this volume, going throught London investigating, the conspiracy and political power play of the Lords, getting to know more about the Clock Tower structure, was really cool.
Some extra bits of trivia since You already covered the important stuff

Can't wait for the adaptation of these into an anime
Lord El-Melloi II Case Files
-A Fate Story
Localizationing stuff
Have any of the books given any new details on the clock tower director at this point?
I'd prefer the 5* to be Kay but yeah he'd be a four.
I'm not surprise about the direction of HS. That was something that was obvious since the beginning given Grat and Waver's wish. I'm actually surprised tho we haven't seen anything about Zhuge show up. I'd thought Sanda would worm that connection in somewhere and hopefully be in a more satisfying way then FOR. Of course we will see won't we.
Also curious as I haven't caught up but why does Heartless want to summon Iskandar? If it's just for a general HS okay but I wouldn't pick Iskandar since even tho he's among the strongest of HS he's also not the most manageable. Curious but does Heartless even have CS?
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
I mean who knows because “He wants to summon Iskander!” is literally the last line of the book
I was also wondering why he wanted to summon Iskandar lol. Like you already have Hephaestion’s sister why do you need another one.
So how does Waver handle that he is very quickly running out time join to HGW, did he came to term with it?
I doubt about Zhuge because Sanda is going on Waver = Sherlock, Gray = Watson and Heartless = Moriarty for Case Files, and he is not subtle about it.
Another theme on the novels is also Waver = Heartless, Waver sees him as another version of himself and he is direct at saying "he is me".
There was some time since I read it, but not much that I can't remember in terms of trivia. That case deals with Gray's backstory and the ritual that turn her into a saberface, which was discussed already
I found really cute how Gray sees Add as her big brother and then compare them to Artoria and Kay, just to worry then how Add/Kay sees her having Artoria's face but not really being Artoria (Gray was being a worrywart then). Kay's famous swimming skills also make a return there

NASUUUUUU
This is the Einzberns having Rheingold all over again
Eh, Rheingold was something lost in a word salad that if you had the original probably would make you go "right, and the Einzberns are German...huh," this is more the Nasu "Remember that throwaway line that you glossed over the one time and didn't think much of? Now I'm expanding on it."
It's more comparable to something like how the Knights of the Round complained about Tristan's "archery" and then we get him in FGO and learn its "harp playing."
