rainystast 's review for:
Dread Nation
by Justina Ireland
If you're sensitive to racial trauma, I would say to be cautious reading this book. The main character gets near every slur under the sun thrown at her, is beaten, and constantly dehumanized by the people around her.
1. I will say that this book is less focused on the zombies, or "shamblers" as they are called, and more on the racial tension during the civil war era.
2. This book, you can feel that the main character has spirit. You can feel that the weight of constantly being discriminated against by idiots is ever present in the MC's head. You can feel the long term effects of society coddling bigotry but not growth. You can feel the anger of the MC, the injustice of it all, this book makes you feel something.
I hope there is a second book, so that more characters can be fleshed out and I can be sucked deeper into this riveting story.
