The Fall of the Governor: Part Two, by Jay Bonansinga, Robert Kirkman
2.0
So, this is the final book in the series about the Governor character from The Walking Dead. What started as a truly interesting series that added more depth to the Governor's story slowly turned into a simple retelling of the events in the comics. While occasionally comic book retellings can be rather good, this was essentially just more of the same.
I never really want to read the description of an overall wearing walker again.
The book wasn't as bad as Part One of [b: The Fall of the Governor|17286685|The Fall of the Governor Part One (The Walking Dead #3)|Robert Kirkman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388194692s/17286685.jpg|24243586] and it did a decent job of making Austin a rather lovable character and fully fleshing out the way that Woodbury functioned. I just wish that more effort had been put into fleshing out the Governor in general, as they did in the first book. I wanted to more fully understand his motivations, or at least how people rallied to him and agreed that events like storming the prison were a good idea. Lilly flip-flopped too much for my liking and I felt rather strongly the lack of foreshadowing as to her eventual fate.
This series could have been a lot more, and perhaps if the books weren't quite so rushed it will be just that.
