Meh. Another all drama collection and then introduces another potential villain at the end (reminiscent of a former villain just in better wool). I found this book very frustrating, there wasn't really any zombie action, and it took too long for another villain to show, hopefully not just as a social-drama foil either. I'm really hoping after this one the action and story picks up if not I may put this series down for good. ( )

Is it possible that the story is getting even messier? This felt the least like a Walking Dead book. Hoping the finale is an upswing. ( )

Dayum! A lo happens in this installment. Not only do we need a spunky new character, we meet a whole damn new community! Rick is still reeling from the loss of Andrea, Carl is still pining after his new little girlfriend leaving poor Sophia behind in the dust, Maggie may have a new fuck buddy, Jesus and Aaron are officially out and open, and Neegan is out on his own with permission from Rick. Hilltop is slowly rebuilding after the devastation from the last book and a small group of people from Alexandria ride out to meet the people that Eugene has been talking to on the radio for weeks. All in all, there are a lot of plot lines, a lot of action, and it's damn fun! I especially love Princess, the wild girl they encounter in the city. She reminds me a lot of Tank Girl. Another great installment and I feel like it may be leading us up to a conclusion? Probably not, but you never know! ( )
