WOW. I usually hate zombie stories just cause they scare me a lot. But this one was ABSOLUTELY worth it. I loved our cast and hope

Spoiler

we see Gideon in the next book!

For me, the second part of this book was far better and more interesting and readable than the first. I feel like I only slogged through the first part because I spent money buying the book. The concept of the book and the rewriting of history could have been so much more exciting (zombies and the civil war...) and I was expecting so much more. The world building and scene setting in part one were just kind of boring. I will say that the authors note at the end was very powerful and something that if you read this book you should definitely not skip.

I really liked this book. I mean zombies in a very well written, historically accurate setting, count me in. Exciting to get to the sequel...
