Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Overall, this is a fine book. I am not upset that I read it, but I do think I was expecting a bit more. 

*I will preface with I have not played any of The Walking Dead games that Clementine's character originates from, however, I did try to read up on the summaries of those story to better understand this graphic novel. So please consider that while reading my review.*

- I don't mind Clementine as a character, and I find Amos and Ricca to be charming. There is not a ton of relationship building throughout, but what is there feels meaningful and intentional. 

- I really love Tillie Walden's art style, but I did feel like there were some important details lost in some of the panels due to the black and white nature of the art.

- The plot felt a bit lacking - it seemed that the plot didn't really go anywhere and there was no real growth to the story. I know it is a continuation from previous Clementine stories, but I was hoping to get a bit more movement in this book.
