Rating: 3/5
The story opens with Zora, a young female warrior, traveling to a distant mountain in search of the Peryton clan rumored to live there. Instead she finds Broxo and his pet/guardian. Zora discovers that the people she is looking for are all gone, leaving undead monsters in their wake.
The book is directed more toward younger readers, probably what would be called middle grade. The humor and mannerisms of the main characters would appeal to that age group more. I feel like the book can be enjoyed by a wide range of readers though. As the story unfolds, Zora and Broxo develop a deep friendship and even come to rely on one another. Both of the characters are searching for something more than they are willing to admit, even to themselves.
The pacing on the book felt great at times and really stunted at other times. Perhaps it is related to the transitions between chapters, but it definitely seemed inconsistent. The art wasn't bad, but it certainly didn't wow me either. This may be due to the fact that it is targeted at younger readers and the creator was trying to make things feel relatable to that audience.
All in all it is a decent fantasy story featuring zombies, a giant white dog thing, witches and ghosts.
