Goodreads Synopsis:
Commander
Erwin has finally come to a decision: Putting their own wealth and
position ahead of the survival of humanity, the royal government is no
longer fit to lead. To execute their leader’s most audacious plan yet,
Eren and Krista will have to put themselves in peril yet again, and
Armin, Mikasa, and the rest of the Survey Corps will have to turn from
humanity’s guardians into traitors. If they fail this time, they’ll face
not a Titan’s gaping mouth, but the gallows…
Review:
Given the humor
from a volume ago, this book brings the reality and violence to a front. There
are politics and resistance and plans, and some nice revelations in that regard.
There’s also some straight-up human-on-human torture that is hard to stomach.
The pictures are horribly graphic, so be wary of that.
This series is just
surprising and horrible. There are kidnappings and twists and a lot
of fighting. There’s a lot of talk between Erwin and everyone else, but I like
how the storyline moves around, back and forth, very smoothly. There’s a lot of
Levi in this volume, and yet another Eren twist. Armin is surprisingly
depressingly realistic. There’s not enough Mikasa.
This series is
amazing, and I can’t wait for the next volume.
