A review by rockinmama2ax
The Road to Woodbury by Robert Kirkman
3.0
I devoured the first in this series, and I approached this one with the same anxious need to see what shocking revelation Kirkman would reveal only to be mildly disappointed. Don't get me wrong: this book is much like the first in the gruesome, stomach-turning graphic nature of pitting man against man against zombie in a fight to the death. But the jaw-dropping end of the previous book had me on the edge of my seat, hopeful for more of the same.
This story focuses both on the Governor's rise to position at Woodbury and the subsequent development of Lily, a character whose own battle to survive this new world brings her to Woodbury. While somewhat interesting, as a reader, I failed to connect to Lily the way I needed to to stay thoroughly engaged in her story. And I found myself flipping forward to see when I might encounter Rick and see the Governor brought to his demise.
