Omega Days by John L. Campbell

3.0

I know that these days almost every other piece of zombie content wants to be compared to it but in this particular case I think the comparison to The Walking Dead is apt, for better or worse. Much like some season of the walking dead it's all over the place introducing characters and dropping them there's a lot going and sometimes so much so that it seems drawn out even though it isn't. A lot of the character archetypes you found in TWD are there too. There's also the same kind of death fake offs that take off some of the stakes if they are not paired with some real casualties that do pack some punches, whether or not it will be the case with this series remains to be seen. For some reasons I also got pretty strong The Stand vibes from this book (possibly because of the preacher on one side and the televangelist on the other).
The story is good enough but the writing style and constant switching from one character to the other didn't work for me, I wish we could have stuck with each character for longer.
Will I come back to this series: I got the second installment first so I guess I might as well.
