I'm liking it. I'm not a “steampunk” genre fan so much, but she really captures the claustrophobia of a walled-in-zombie-gas-ridden Seattle, and you can tell she's actually worn some goggles...

I also like that the central protagonists include a mother and son, and that the good/evil lines are drawn in gray, for the most part (aside from, y'know, the zombies themselves). Minimalist descriptions of the zombies help to add to the tension, as well.

Loved this one, even though I haven't been a fan of either zombies or steampunk-y stuff in the past. Will continue the series...
