Lily and her ragtag fellow survivors story continues in this novel. Unfortunately, the crazy preacher survived the horde and Woodbury disaster and is looking to extend his flock and seek revenge. I have liked the progression of Lily's character throughout the series. It was a fast paced, action filled book that reminds you of watching a marathon of The Walking Dead. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

I am so over the Governor series. Yes, Bonansinga is covering new ground by writing about Lilly and her group but it's not particularly compelling, even with the threat of zombies looming. It's hard to have any sympathy for Lilly, and her desire to return to Woodbury, given how easily she handed over the running of the town to the preacher in the first place. This is a problem entirely of Lilly's creation and a responsibility she refuses to own, even as she tries to encourage the group to think about the benefits of living above ground. You would think that having already made an epic mistake losing Woodbury that Lilly would be more on the ball but you'd be wrong. After repeatedly telling herself to be aware of the point of no return, she promptly runs out of gas, thus risking her life and that of her travelling companion. Lilly actually gets so caught up in conversation that she doesn't notice the gas gauge. This is the woman btw who thinks she should be in a leadership position. Clearly, Lilly needs all the plot armor she can get because she's too stupid to live.
The antagonist in this book is the Reverend Jeremiah and as villains go, he might as well have been twirling a mustache and laughing maniacally. Even if it makes sense for Jeremiah to think that he was living through the rapture, the fact is, the evil preacher thing has been done to death. His supposed divine revelations adding nothing to the story and segues into his abusive childhood didn't add any nuance to the character. It's clear that Bonansinga tried to make Jeremiah three dimensional but he greatly missed the mark. I can only be thankful that with Jeremiah dead, we'll have a new antagonist in the next book. Even though this series is well past its expiry date.
