review 1: So this is a mini-novella set between the second and third book of the Benny Imura Zombie series by Jonathan Maberry.I still found myself struggling like I did with the second book with the "manga-esque" feeling I keep getting from the series. It was assuaged a little this time by me trying to put myself in the mindset that this is just the first zombie series I've read that takes place in a alternate fantasy world.I'm not a fan of fiction books that are -mostly- set in our real world with just small changes like magic or what have you. That's why I'm struggling with this, because most zombie books are set as if a zombie apocalypse happened to our current world. But everything that happens in the book is too FREAKING AWESOME to be real.I know this is nitpicking, especially... more with yanno, the whole zombie bit, but that's probably why I don't like it as much. I just got the third book in the series and I'll be plunging into that, and just trying to prepare my brain for the shift in mindset needed for this type of setting. It's mostly our world, everyone is just really awesome at what they do apparently.
review 2: It was nice to meet few new INTRIGUING characters that will be in the 3rd book. Both showed extremely different philosophies- Riot that was running away from the night church, that hoped to kill its way to making a "quiet world" while Jolt and GummiBear were playful and alive to think that THEY DON'T KILL ZOMS they only ran and bike their way for survival. It was cool that riot joined jolt and gummi bear. It left me wondering how riot will adjust and how will they face the threat of the night church if they don't even kill. though it was cut short -____- and left me hanging(especially on the end part, with benny falling and blah blah blah), i enjoyed it. It really made me expect that next book will be wild and bad ass. less
