3.5 ⭐

The happiness this brought me is amazing. Being with these characters again and learning more about them is something I will never pass on

The second half of the stories were substantially more interesting than the first half. I think my biggest issue is I like in theory the ability to spend some downtime with these characters, but it just takes facts we already know (Hange likes working on Titans, Sasha is food obsessed, Mikasa wants to protect Eren, etc.) and reiterates them without giving us anything more.

I can’t believe some of these stories are published?! Still didn’t really enjoy the writing style, you often don’t know who’s talking if there’s multiple people in a room but it’s always comforting to read these cute stories when it’s only 3ep of season 4 part 2 left

while they may not have huge implications for the main storyline, i love these small insights into the characters and their relationships/personalities/motivations despite how silly some of the stories, scenarios, and situations are

I like the backstory this gives, not as solders but I shows them as people in their regular lives.

I love these characters so much it’s unreal.

[Angelica Arafiles-Reif · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was cute and gave a bit more depth to some of the characters.

[BLD · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was a bit of a slog to get through. It is good material for the AOT obsessed pining for more content. I did enjoy the multi-perspective mystery stories.

[Haruhi Fujioka · Rating 5 out of 5]

Didn’t think I’d care much for it but it really reminds you of the good old days

*going to use this as a review for both books as I can't find the first collection of short stories*

Short stories 1: Pretty decent. I always love small glimpses into the lives of characters. What can I say, it's what makes them more interesting and human. The dreams were all sad, but no suprises there. It's nice to see the thoughts of the side characters, and it adds a new insight. However, I'm not sure if it's the translation, but the writing was choppy and didn't flow nicely sometimes.

Short stories 2: After the depressing mess that is season 4, it is nice to return to the days when all of them were alive and (somewhat) happy.
