Fantasy. Science Fiction & Fantasy. Young Adult Fiction. HTML:A classic romance, suspense thriller, rip-roaring adventure, and macabre comedy all at once, Dearly, Departed redefines the concept of undying love.
 
CAN A PROPER YOUNG VICTORIAN LADY FIND TRUE LOVE IN THE ARMS OF A DASHING ZOMBIE?
 
The year is 2195. The place is New Victoria??a high-tech nation modeled on the mores of an antique era. Sixteen-year-old Nora Dearly is far more interested in her country??s political unrest than in silly debutante balls. But the death of her beloved parents leaves Nora at the mercy of a social-climbing aunt who plans to marry off her niece for money. To Nora, no fate could be more horrible??until she??s nearly kidnapped by an army of walking corpses. Now she??s suddenly gunning down ravenous zombies alongside mysterious black-clad commandos and confronting a fatal virus that raises the dead. Then Nora meets Bram Griswold, a young soldier who is brave, handsome, noble . . . and thoroughly deceased. But like the rest of his special undead unit, Bram has been enabled by luck and modern science to hold on to his mind, his manners, and his body parts. And when his bond of trust with Nora turns to tenderness, there??s no turning back. Eventually, they know, the disease will win, separating the star-crossed lovers forever. But until then, beating or not, their hearts will have what they desire.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Lia Habel's Dearly, Beloved.

Prelim Review: I want to say upfront that the beginning is the worse part of the novel. Habel spends a great deal of time trying to catch the reader up to both Nora's emotional present and the history of how the world came to be the way it is. This leads to a rather awkward to read chunk in which Nora is basically reading her history of the world paper to us.

Once we're beyond all that ::waves hand:: the story picks up briskly. Things are afoot and the carefully constructed New Victoria World is about to get slammed by Karma for its evils.

I was intrigued by the steampunk post-apocalyptic world, but unfortunately I got bogged down by the amount of POV shifts and sheer number of characters (both dead and undead) that I tried to keep track of. I'm thinking I should stick to vampire fiction as opposed to zombie fiction when it comes to reading about the undead... ( )

Excellent writing, great characters, my only hangups were 1) too many changes of POVs, and 2) zombie as romance. Erg. No. ( )

Super-interesting worldbuilding in a post-apocalyptic steampunk-gaslamp world. (Provided by publisher)

After some sort of world-ending event, society gathered near the equator and reformed. The book takes place in and around New London, a city in a post-apocalyptic society that is Victorian in style and mores, but modern in some of its technology, with a gaslamp twist. Nearby is the Punk society that seems to have rejected the New Victorian technology. The Lazarus virus was developed, causing people to reanimate after death; only some of them with their faculties intact. ( )
