“Nil that,” I snap. “We are outnumbered. They will close in from all sides, but they are glory hounds out for themselves. They will compete against one another to get me. We are not them.

This book gets somehow more heartbreaking, tense, and BETTER with every page.

"As the door closes behind him, I think on the stupidity of war. How ridiculous we must be to wage it when emotions like love run so much deeper in us than hate."

Jesus. Pierce Brown knows how to drive home emotion at the end of a chapter. Man, this book is so good.

Well, uh, here we go. Pierce, please don’t kick my soul in the balls so many times this go round. They’re still tender from Dark Age, and that released like four years ago.

My hunger for progression fantasy grows!

I’m tapping out and marking this one DNF. I don’t think it should reflect poorly on the book though, honestly. It’s very well written and such an intriguing concept. Zombies hitting during the middle of the Civil War, disrupting everything, and told from the perspective of a kind-of-genteel young black woman, trained in the arts - both social and martial? Amazing! It just didn’t hit w/me though. 🙁
