The book delves into very important issues, both from a modern and a historical perspective. The author handles them with respect, but does not sugarcoat them.lahariel's review against another edition

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.
