Chronicle To Books Dread Nation (Dread Nation #1)
Jane McKeene was born two days before the dead began to walk the battlefields of Gettysburg and Chancellorsville—derailing the War Between the States and changing America forever. In this new nation, safety for all depends on the work of a few, and laws like the Native and Negro Reeducation Act require certain children attend combat schools to learn to put down the dead. But there are also opportunities—and Jane is studying to become an Attendant, trained in both weaponry and etiquette to protect the well-to-do. It’s a chance for a better life for Negro girls like Jane. After all, not even being the daughter of a wealthy white Southern woman could save her from society’s expectations.But that’s not a life Jane wants. Almost finished with her education at Miss Preston’s School of Combat in Baltimore, Jane is set on returning to her Kentucky home and doesn’t pay much mind to the politics of the eastern cities, with their talk of returning America to the glory of its days before the dead rose. But when families around Baltimore County begin to go missing, Jane is caught in the middle of a conspiracy, one that finds her in a desperate fight for her life against some powerful enemies. And the restless dead, it would seem, are the least of her problems.

2.5 stars Its a cruel, cruel world. And the people are the worst part. Now I really liked this book up to a point and the concept is original. It also explores racism in an original way. And damn, did it outrage me at certain points. But it also inspired me to learn more. (Mainly about what the author's note refers to at the end - the real life boarding schools Native American children were sent to to learn to be "civilized").Here we have an alternate history America where the Civil War ended4.5 shamblersThis was one of my most anticipated books for spring from the moment I heard of it and laid eyes on that cover. I have no idea what struck this chord other then I love history and figured this alternate derailment (from the current one) will be epic. A dystopian setting in the past versus the future as in most YA novels. BAMa dystopian, YA, alternate historical fiction genre has been created. And I am all for it!The setting for Dread Nation begins during the Civil War years. Jane
honestly, i was beyond excited about this book because queer black girls who fight zombies? i'd be throwing my money at the author by now but i literally cannot support someone who implies that asian women like myself... are not women of color. it's 2018 and i'm tired of hearing this because believe me it's been said a lot before. you don't get to invalidate me or take a slight against my community or my heritage or even my skin. the fact that justina ireland actually thinks that asians
Originally started as a buddy read with Lola but she wasn't into it so I went ahead and finished it myself. :pI thought this had a pretty strong start. I was really enjoying it up until around the 40% mark. From then on, my interest sort of waned. I guess its partly due to the whole zombie thing; let's be honest, they're not the most exciting supernatural monsters to read about. Most of the time they're just lumbering, brainless things designed to move the plot forward and provide action scenes.
5 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2018/04/14/...Dread Nation was my kind of YA. It explores history, politics, social issues, and racial relations. It features strong diverse characters, and a protagonist with one of the most powerful voices and charismatic personalities Ive ever met. Oh, and its also got zombies. But leaving all that aside, I just loved this book, because at the end of the day it was a damn good story.Set during American Reconstruction Era, Dread
3.75/5 ⭐Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺Because February is always Black History Month (and, mind you, I've read this book in February), this fearless heroine of ours is a fearless girl of colour leaving in the times of the Civil War in the United States. You know the Civil War, right? The North starts battling the South in order to abolish slavery. There is blood, there is gore, there is loss and there are...zombies.Quick thingy here: does anyone actually remember that Scooby-Doo
Historical Fiction blends with Horror in this genre-fusing YA story.Set in the United States, just after the end of the Civil War, the country is plagued by the walking dead. Jane McKeene, our intrepid protagonist, is attending Miss Preston's School for Girls and struggling to find her place in the world. Life hasn't always been kind to Jane and she has had to develop a thick resolve to help push through the hardships. Unfortunate as that may be, this fact has served her well when it comes to
