This volume was certainly an improvement over the last couple I’ve read. The women in the book did have more of a plot than just being there for romance or drama. There was still a fair amount of sexism and objectification of some of the women and of course the incredibly disturbing r*pe scene between The Governor and Michonne.
The Governor appears way more menacing much faster here than he did in the television show and I think it serves the character well. You understand how calculating and maniacal he can be but when he interacts with the residents of Woodbury he’s very sweet, kind, and charming. It makes it so much creepier.

This is honestly like a looking at a car crash. It sucks and it’s hard but for some reason you can’t look away. The writing is shit and the clear misogyny is enraging but I just keep reading it just to see what happens. Honestly, if I wasn’t a fan of the show I wouldn’t even bother.

I mean, if any type of content warning turns you off of a book, don’t read this. So far, only 5 deep in the series and it’s pretty much got everything.brookey8888's review

Honestly kind of boring and it’s interesting to meet the governor but he’s a sick man so it’s disturbing to read.
