“HUMANITY’S WORST NIGHTMARE Eren is still resting from his brutal fight with the female Titan, when word reaches the interior that the impossible has happened: Wall Rose itself has been breached, and Titans are pouring through the gap! The emergency casts new urgency over Armin and Hange’s questions about how the walls were built, and what humanity can do to restore them…”

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.
