I have followed this author in the fantasy realm and see that he is branching out into the zombie genre, is that even a term? It must be! I thought the prologue was well written and interesting from a scientific stand point. I liked that there were different types of zombies based on when they fed. I also enjoyed that some of the story took place at a Renaissance Faire...that was unique and somewhat different.
Some of the things that I didn't understand or where the story broke down for me was that some things could have been better researched. The wolf in the story started to grow amazingly within months, I am not sure if it did this because of the constant zombie meat it was ingesting or what, but some of the physical things it did made me scratch my head. Most times it acted like a dog rather than a wolf. But hey we are dealing with Zombies and for the most part they do not make sense lol. I wish there was more descriptions of the zombies. They were easily dispatched which makes the differentiation of them being faster due to feeding not really understood, In terms of characters, I felt that the Main character in the story acted out of context and his interactivity with others given what he has gone through was a little off, in his actions and his dialogue with others. But maybe in a zombie world people act like they are living there last day and cannot dwell on the past too much or let it affect them? Lastly, I wish the story was a little longer, mostly to allow more character development, One of the other reviewers stated that it was hard to like or feel for the characters and I agree with that. But I think that could have been rectified by allowing the characters to develop over time.
All in all it was still a good read and a great start for Mr. Vanucci entering a different kind of genre than his past work. I look forward to more of these types of stories from Mr. Vanucci and so should you!
