Goodreads Synopsis:
The decks of the
Campania run red with blood when the corpses brought back to a semblance
of life by the Aurora Society's "absolute salvation" turn on the ship's
passengers in a ghoulish farce. With their investigation waylaid by
this primitive struggle for survival, Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his
exceptional butler, Sebastian, are trapped at the mercy of both the
unnatural and Mother Nature herself. For even as dead feet shuffle along
the opulent decks of the luxury liner in search of living prey, in the
distance there looms before the cursed vessel a massive iceberg that
glows and crackles eerily in the gloom of night...
Review:
Ohmygod, this was
the best volume. It was just everything I wanted to happen. What I’ve been
waiting for. And it was even better than I thought it’d be. I’m so happy I
finally continued this series, and that I have more books after this one ready
to be read. Because I am so ready for this, you guys.
Ok, so. Zombies are
what Ciel and Sebastion are dealing with.They haven’t put a name to them,
really, but that’s what they are. There’s a lot of them, too, because this guy,
working for some (at the moment) unknown company, is transporting them, after
claiming to be able to bring people back from the dead. Well, turns out, he
can. Only they’re not really conscious, and they want to eat people. And then,
to make matters worse, the ship hits an iceburg.
Ciel is stuck with
Elizabeth and Snake and Rian, the guy behind the zombies. Sebastian is checking
on Elizabeth’s family, who are just fine because they’re swords-people. Then
the grim reapers show up (Ronald Knox and Grelle Sutcliffe), and they’re
collecting souls and killing zombies, and sometimes fighting with Sebastian,
who is then trying to prolong the sinking and/or save Ciel and company.
Ciel is getting a little
sick, because he’s got a weak body. Elizabeth and Ciel end up separated from
the others for a while, and they’re just so sweet. Elizabeth is scared, and
trying to stay strong and cute for Ciel, and Ciel is worried but doing his very
best to keep Elizabeth safe (awww!).
And then! And then
something really awesomely huge happens with Elizabeth. It has even more depth
than I thought it would, and Elizabeth is awesome and badass and knows more
than anyone gave her credit for. I love her. And I’m so very excited to see
what happens with her (and everyone else) in the next book.
This battle is just awesome. There’s so much
happening! And so much badass-ness, with so many different characters. I’m
loving it.
