Montzalee Wittmann's Reviews > Dread Nation

Dread Nation #1 by Justina Ireland is a book I found from the library. I got the audible version. Now, I don't normally read historical fiction even if it is altered and I hate reading books those that have slaves or racism but this book has both! Why I started it I will never know but once I started I couldn't stop. Our main character is a gal born from a rich white plantation last while the Lord of the major had been gone fighting in the Civil War. Our gal came out black and was almost killed by the midwife but saved by your auntie. This is a land of shamblers, we would call them zombies. When she is old enough she is sent to mandatory "Negro" schools to learn to fight them. This is a very exciting and frustrating book. Sometimes I wasn't sure who was really the monsters! I had a love/hate relationship with this book!
The narration was absolutely brilliant! Perfect in every way!
