Winter has arrived, the walking dead are hungry, and Ginny and Lee's small group of survivors is making its way towards New York. Other survivors, shaking off the daze of catastrophe, are moving as well. In a wasteland of snow and failing power, of course the zombies are dangerous...
...but it's the other people you really have to watch out for.
Lilith Saintcrow was born in New Mexico, bounced around the world as a child, and fell in love with writing stories when she was ten years old. She and her library co-habitate in Vancouver, Washington.
The group is still avoiding zombies on their way to New York. Some people leave the group and others are found. A bit of romance between Lee and Ginny (finally). The dumb hillbilly dialog is so annoying. I hope the last book ties up the loose ends from this book. What did the girls do to Brandon????
I had some real laughs with this one! The teens with the baseball bats cracked me up. Lots of good scenes reflecting hard truths in our world. Characters are developing and changing in believable and satisfying ways. The serial nature of the series continues to be evident.
You'll be hanging on every word all the way to the end. And be dying to know what happens next on this roadtrip. I've been cheering these characters on as they try to find their way through the landscape of a world overrun by the dead. You will too.
In the third Roadtrip Z book, we meet a lot of new characters and start asking some new questions about the apocalypse. There's plenty of action and excitement, but it's difficult to review without giving anything away, because it would be a shame to spoil some of the excellent (horrible) moments in this book for prospective readers.
Once again, there are plenty of unresolved feelings and unanswered questions that kept me reading on, and I raced through this book in a day.
Book three of the serial and I'm once again going to recommend reading this as one long book or at least two and three together.
Lots of continuing tension from zombie attacks and because we know Ginny's goal is likely doomed as well as the will-they won't-they of Ginny and Lee's relationship. On to the next one!
I do think this could have just been included in book 2 and didnt need to be its own book but it was a fun read. glad they dumped dead weight and it was interesting meeting other groups. enjoying ginny's development a lot and the romance is still barely there but building. very curious how the final book will go!
This is probably my favorite of this "series" -- it's really more a single narrative broken into installments -- because it resolves some interpersonal stuff in a cool way. Plus I loved when that one dude gets it.
