The story is dull, but the world it takes place in isn't. The artwork is well-done. Still, the characters aren't very interesting, and while the dialogue is well-paced it isn't very interesting either. ( )

I liked this well enough. Nothing too fancy here, but a fun story about death and undead zombies, ghosts and stuff. ( )

Good fantasy adventure with strong male and female characters. Good art too. Like to see this become a series. ( )

An entertaining debut with appealing lead characters. ( )

Zombies! Barbarians! Zombie barbarians! What more could you want??

Zora is a princess seeking one of the lost clans in a remote corner of her world. When she meets Broxo, she hopes that he can help her find them... and he does, though it's not immediately that Zora understands that the zombies ARE what's left of the clan. Broxo is the last survivor, and he and the witch Ulith are the only living people left. So what happened to the Peryton clan? And are Zora and Broxo up to the battle to set things right again?

[apologies for the terrible booktalk; will revise if/when I actually use it. I think "zombies, barbarians, and zombie barbarians" will be enough to get it out the door when hand-selling to middle-schoolers.] ( )
