It hurts my heart to say this was underwhelming :( I mean, it was cool the titans SOMEHOW found a way to the top of the wall and fell off to regenerate and attack Quinta. And how isayama loves a bad ass bitch ALWAYS! 🙌🏻 Rita was sick and so was Amanda other than that… I was so bored

To set a long review short, this sucks, skip it.
The novel starts with a time skip and the antagonists are suddenly, without explanation, good guys. I don't get it. Waste your time with better books. It was interesting seeing the titans in book form, as the size of these monsters have more effect when you imagine them than actually see them. Sort of like imagining the horror of a large spider before seeing one in real life and realising its less scary. Unless you live in Australia like I do and of course then you have every right to freak the hell out. But besides that. The 'Harsh Mistress' is supposed to be liked, but as a 'Harsh Mistress' she acts exactly like that, even to innocent people.
Long story short, if you liked and read the entirety of the first book, maybe you should read this to see how it ends. If you haven't started. Let it be known that it sucks. So skip it.

Secondo volume di gran lunga superiore al primo.
Ho apprezzato particolarmente l'evoluzione dei personaggi
Il modo in cui i giganti sono entrati nelle mura mi ha fatto storcere il naso: se la mettiamo come spiega il libro allora i giganti potrebbero entrare in qualsiasi momento.
Comunque libro molto bello

This one had fewer fighting scenes than the first one, so it was easier to follow in text form. I enjoyed the character development in relation to the first book, and thought it was quite realistic, if a little extreme. The ending was surprising, but satisfying. I wonder if we'll meet any of these characters again in the main series?

The 2nd part of this YA fiction story set in the Attack on Titan world, after the attack on Wall Maria. It follows characters not in the main storyline, and gives a glimpse into the horror and tradegy created by the breaking of the wall, and the depravity of what humans are willing to do to keep order. It was an interesting story!

Deutlich besser als Band 1 und insgesamt besser als erwartet.

I might have liked this more if I remembered the first book at all... I was surprised by how confused I was.

La conclusione di una storia che mi aveva molto preso, una light Novel del mondo di L'attacco dei giganti legato all'inizio di questa serie: la caduta del Wall Maria. I destini di Matthias e Rita si sono divisi ma in questo volume, che riparte da dove era finito il precedente, si incrociano, ma una riconciliazione tra i due amici sembra lontana: Rita è distrutta dall'uccisione involontaria del suo compagno Diccio per mano di Matthias che è a capo del gruppo di ribelli che vuole deporre il governo militare creato dalla stessa Rita. La storia è intrigante e cruda come tutto ciò che riguarda questa serie; la narrazione calca il mistero ma l'inizio non mi ha convinto. La seconda metà è molto più intrigante e appassionante, e il finale lascia aperta una porta che chissà se verrà mai aperta. Molto bello comunque e belle le immagini, anche se personalmente le avrei praticamente tutte spostate una pagina prima.

The ending wasn't as satisfying as I'd like, but it's alright.
