This is a review for the first 14 volumes, because I read them all at once, in about three days. For the most part, each volume is like one chapter of this story, so it works.

I really do like Attack on Titan - I started with watching the Anime, and finding out Season 2 won't come until 2016 - I

realized I need more story, there is just too much odd stuff with this series, and totally heartbreakingly scary. Death is not sugarcoated. And people here die in horrible ways, usually by getting eaten by a Titan. The story is tight - the graphics are top-notch. Highly recommended if you are looking for something that is different, but grabs you, emotionally.

The characters are well written, even the ones that are written as a comic relief (Sasha and her appetite for example). These are all emotionally developed characters, who grow from the begining of the series as fighting titans takes it toll (along with learning about corruptness of some humanity). These are not people who want to fight. These are people who do what it takes to survive and protect humanity.

I think I like the anime better, but it might be because the color and sound adds a lot to the horror that is a titan. The plot between the two versions are almost the same, except for vary minor changes.

This is the ninth volume in the Attack on Titan series. Wall Rose has been breached and our Corps are hard pressed to deal with this new and dire situation. Then a new abnormal Titan appears and something odd is found at one of the abandoned villages outside the wall. Many more mysteries are raised

and none of the questions are answered.

This was a fast-paced volume in this series with lots of troop movement and lots of different characters introduced. Not a lot of progress is made in the story though. I enjoyed it but not as much as some of the previous books.

The illustration remains top-notch and easy to follow. I am eager to see the story move forward though.

Overall a good continuation of this series. I look forward to reading future books in this series.
