My thoughts: This
book is a very quick and satisfying read.
I wish it had been longer but it has whet my appetite for more books set
in this world. The characters were
believably flawed. You had villains and
no I don’t mean the man eaters I mean the humans; then you had the heroes of
the story bringing their people to a relative safety. Reading this made me both glad to not be
living up in the frozen wastelands of Russia and also worried because if something
inexplicable like this actually happened I would have no where to hide.
Rating 8/10
Recommendation:
Zombie fans and fans of dystopian apocalyptic futuristic fiction
