**Spoilers for my review!!**
Mini blurb: experimentation facility for zombies, learning how zombies function in this world
I enjoyed this more than the first book because the racism is nearly gone. B still slightly struggles with it but is actively trying to be better, so much so that she’s willing to die to stay morally good. She’s now the one viewed as a monster just as she and her dad viewed anyone not white as expendable.
I love learning about how zombies function in fictional worlds so this was a perfect book for me. The main focus of this book was teaching the differences between 2 types of zombies and then briefly introducing us to what seems to be our main villain. They don’t explain any main story elements which I’m perfectly fine with. These books are incredibly short so I’m enjoying how they’re being broken up story wise.
The gore is excellent, especially Mr.Dowling. It may be over the top and maybe a little silly, but bug stuff with always get to me, so I very much enjoy this villain. I also love the zom-heads giving into their urges, it’s surprisingly sad and gives exposition at the same time. The artwork is of course also great, even if not very detailed (especially in Mr.Dowling’s case), it still helps solidify some descriptions.
Maybe I’ll bump this up to a 5 star after reading more of the books, but for now I wanna give space for the future ones to blow me away.
