I started this book last year. But it wasn't feeling it at the time. I picked it up again this week and I'm glad.
I do love a character that knows she's flawed but doesn't make it her personality especially in this type of book. She knows how to survive and does it well.
The other characters in the book are loved too even though we didn't get to know most of them. I hope we do in the second one.
I don't think I had many issues other than the fact that I wished there was more zombie killings. Graphic ones. I don't know why I but I feel like it wasn't enough.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes historical science fiction and black girls being bosses and killing zombies.
