Review:
First of all, I
love the special edition of this book. Not only does it actually come with the
regular edition of the book (so I get the best of both worlds) with a dust
jacket with the cover by Tony Moore, and with the deck of cards, but that comes
inside a box! It’s so pretty! I thought it would be shrink-wrapped together,
but it comes in a pretty box. I love it. I can’t wait for the next one.
Now, on to the
actual book.
I can’t believe how
violent this series has become. And I can’t believe I’m even thinking that. But
the graphic violence, the torture that happens in this volume, is just gross
and I’m too squeamish for this. Ugh.
Aside from that, we
find out what Krista’s father really plans to do with the two of them. And even
Erin is feeling sorry for himself enough to agree. And while Levi and Mikasa
and the group are fighting to get to him, thankfully Krista does what needs to
be done.
There’s a lot of
memories mixed in here, Krista remembering things, Eren remembering things, and
Krista’s father telling them of past events. And a lot of politics. And then
the ending. Which, another cliffhanger.
This series is brutal. It’s intense and amazing. I
love it, even if it surprises me and makes me uneasy at times. I love this
special edition, and I can’t wait for the next one.
