'Goddess' brings the story of 'Zom-B' to an end.
A decade on from first reading it but never getting to the ending, that ending hits fairly hard. The character of B Smith is one that I love a lot more now than I ever did.
The series has flaws, mostly in its plot. But it has a lot of strengths too: the arc of a reformed bigot, the moral heart of the story being to never stand for any atrocity, no matter how big or small and to keep pushing to the bitter end.
It hits some snags and at times it is more style than substance, but 'Zom-B' is a great story and I really appreciate what Darren Shan did here.
