The Last Night In Amsterdam

Last week I asked authors (in the BoH group on FB) to self-recommend their own books to be my 666th review on Goodreads (don't read too much into it aside from a questionable sense of humor) and while I haven't gotten through all of the 15 or so titles this one is my favorite so far so I decided to go with this one.

I loved it. The characters' dynamics felt real, and they were relatable. Surprisingly it managed to keep me engaged and not enraged in spite of being told entirely in a form of back and forth in time and from more than one POV (the shifts in POVs were clearly identified and the characters had sufficiently different voices that I never got lost). There's a great balance between exploring the characters' thoughts and action scenes and the pacing was really solid.

It managed to dodge all of my most hated zombpoc tropes and Atkinson even subverted one in the best possible way. Long story short, it's one of the best zombie novels I've read in quite a while.
