Historical zombie dystopian fiction, basically The Walking Dead meets the Civil War.
This was my first book by Justina Ireland and I really enjoyed it. After the American Civil War, slavery has been outlawed, but the dead soldiers come back as zombies. A new law is put in place that forces Black and Indigenous children into combat schools to train to fight the undead in order to protect white society, whether they want to or not.
We follow Jane, who is rebellious, outspoken, and refuses to be quiet or obedient. She speaks her mind, questions authority, and I loved every bit of it. Jane made this story so much more entertaining to read.
The mix of history, horror, and social commentary worked really well and kept me interested. I’m definitely picking up book two because I need to know what happens next.
