What a follow up to Dread Nation! We pick up right where that book left off, with our favorite characters out fighting zombies once again. What I love about Ireland's books is that they're so infused with history, yet they have this twist that pulls you in: the zombies. However, a lot of the issues that Jane and Katherine face are very real, especially when it comes to race.
While there were times where the story felt like it dragged a bit, the rest of it definitely makes up for it.
