Nothing about this is my usual type of read, the whole zombie thing is not something I would have usually picked up, but I'm trying new things, and even if this book didn't fit my personal tastes to perfection I can still recognize quality when I see it. And I see it here.

I usually prefer character focused books over plot focused books, but this book managed to be plot heavy without compromising the characters or their developments. I was a bit annoyed with the main character at first, there were a few instances where she seemed a little "I'm not like other girls," especially in her hatred of corsets, but I did really grow to like her (even if she never grew to like or even accept corsets).

I kinda wish Pagebound had a section for prose in the reviews, cause the language in this book is both captivating and excellent at transporting you straight into the world and keeping you there, but without being hard to decipher (my English is pretty fluent, but it's not my first language).

In short, this book isn't my usual cup of tea, but I sprinted through the last half of it like it was on fire, and I have never run so fast to get my hands on the next book as I did with this one. Now all there's left is to wait (very impatiently) until my order of the next book comes in.
