The Fall of the Governor: Part One by Jay Bonansinga, Robert Kirkman
4.0
The first half of the novel is a bit slow; after reading that characters in the graphic novels and television show (Rick, Glenn, and Michonne) were going to be featured, I was a little underwhelmed at Lilly's reappearance. I only vaguely remember her story from the second novel, which was fairly lackluster with its flagrant use of ridiculous foreshadowing. However, despite a few eye roll moments between her and her new beau, Austin (I think that's his name), her story in this novel... was okay.
The second half of the novel was much better. I was literally on the edge of my seat. The scenes featuring The Governor and Michonne were electrifying -- possibly even the best moments in the series.
Don't get me wrong; literary masterpiece this is not. But fans of the franchise will likely be pleased. Although I'm sure they'd be more pleased if this was the end of the "trilogy" as planned. This is part 1 of 2 of the 3rd book in the "trilogy." Which equals a total of 4 books. Which, sadly, isn't a trilogy.
