my biggest gripe is length. it's been nearly 5 years since the last book. looking back on the release of each title they all launched a year or less from each other and their length was impressive. I suppose it's possible the author is running out of material but that shouldn't be the case.
Sadly. at least for me. was the ending and what happened with one of the characters. while I'm not disappointed in the results I'm disappointed by how brightly it was broadcast through the introduction of other characters.
lastly and this has been an issue since the beginning of the series is the author making mistakes with names and events and where they fallout in the story. while keeping up with everything going on has to be insanely difficult and I do sympathize it is jarring when it takes place. pulls me out of the immersion.
overall I'm grateful for another addition to this series and I absolutely loved it just wish I didn't have to wait so long. hope there are more coming and faster.
Phenomenal continuation in world building!

David Achord is consistent with his technical knowledge without adding a deeper level of empathy and wisdom that’s become a trade mark of greater novels and series.
Characters are often one dimensional and stereotypical. Dialogue leaves much to be desired, especially in scene transition, and characters tend to repeat what has already been narrated.
I hate saying it, considering how much I enjoy this series, but this is the worst book yet. Outlandish plot development with either no foreshadowing or too much where the big reveal is figured out chapters ahead of time and you find yourself getting antsy for the writer to get to the point so we can see the inevitable aftermath.
Spoiler!
If I could spend five minutes with Mr. Achord, it would be an earful over Kelly. While I always preferred Julie, I saw Kelly’s death coming a mile away. It has become a pattern for Achord to introduce a strong female candidate for Zak’s love interested, then kill his current one by the end of the book. Happened with Macy, Julie, and now Kelly. I have little doubt Bailey, aka the Roanoke Laura Croft, will become a new favorite character of mine. My only question will be how many kids will she have before she too meets an unfortunate, yet predictable end.
My final thoughts on this character death: Achord is going to have some serious explaining to do. How the hell those two broke into Mount Weather to ambush Zak has a zed horde sized hole in it. It’s one thing to suspend disbelief for the sake of story. It’s another to cause an inverse Deus Ex Machina to reach a desired story ending rather than allowing events to play out naturally. There were many ways this could have happened and each one is more believable than Zak getting attacked by two banished thugs in his own base where he set up the security protocols. On this, I digress.
This book feels strained and stressed as though Achord did not write this for the act of loving the story and seeing where it will go. Rather this feels like a contract that he was obligated to fulfill and threw everything at the wall he could to keep the train moving. There’s no true plot development and majority of the book is filled with character development that it could have done without.
In my not-so-humble opinion, we need to wipe the dust off the Tennessee crew, put them together, and take on Eve. I hope there will be meaningful deaths, surprises that have been eluded to since the first or second book, and an ending that is both bittersweet and satisfying.
I truly hope the next book is more inspired and handled with as much love as Zombie Rules.
