 thought this was well done. I was glad to have some loose ends wrapped up and it felt realistic. It was slow in some parts but I enjoyed the character building.

If you loved the first book, you may hate this because it has a vastly different vibe. It’s written in split POV and features less gore but deals heavily with friendship, heartbreak, and grief. I absolutely loved all the character introspection this sequel provided.

An absolutely stellar sequel. I am a sucker for duologies and I think this one wrapped up Jane and Katherine's story well. I am a fan of 19th century history, usually pre-Civil War, but this series was exactly my kind of thing. The book is written for a younger audience, but it doesn't feel out of place to read it as an adult. As a white person, I learned a lot about the inner feelings and experiences of black women and I hope that this book will help me have continued empathy and grace for people who do not look like me and have been harmed for generations by my ancestors and currently by other white folks. It is amazing to see Justina Ireland wrap up such complicated feelings and experiences into a zombie novel and communicate them so clearly. I am very excited for her future books.

It's a zombie book set in the 19th century and centered around an old west caravan trip. There is violence and killing. The gore is particularly explicit, but it's definitely there.

The first half of this book was not it for me but I read the second half in one sitting. I would read a 3rd in the series. I disliked that Jane and Katherine’s perspectives switched between every chapter and would’ve preferred longer chunks.

Hm. Here's an example of why I don't usually read YA - these characters were so dramatic. SO DRAMATIC. I would say they were "acting like it was life or death" but it actually was life or death ...... but depicted in such a black-and-white way. Other things that irked me:
- Parts 1 and 2 feel like separate books. I think they should have been.
- The audiobook narrator for Katherine's POV (I'm sorry!!)
- Lots of repetitive language/phrases.
- Twists were not as twisty - a bit more predictable than the first book.

Things I liked:
- Having a Katherine POV - it made me understand and like the character more.
- Various LGBT reps!
- The ending! I thought things were wrapped up nicely, but not too neatly, which was right on point.

I don't think YA Hannah would have had qualms at all about this book. 5 stars from her 😂
