I read the original trilogy back in 2015 ... so it's been years, but it has remained as a fond memory. I really liked the series. I was browsing KindleUnlimited and happened to see this was a free offering, and as Thanksgiving was yesterday and I finished my book and needed to start something new, this Christmas themed bitty book taking me back to a favorite series seemed perfect. And it was.

Even after years, I did have a basic memory of some of the events and the characters ... I think I'll re-read this series at some point (it would be great if the audio was included in KU. As I read them myself the first time around, I'd love experiencing the audio edition ... but I'm so cheap!)

I loved the little touches at humor, even though this didn't get as down and dirty and nitty gritty as the past books, or zombie books in general. This stayed pretty light-hearted, a peek at the hope and good that can exist, even after devastation. I'm very glad I stumbled upon this little offering. I see the author has some other books (I liked HH's Wool series, so it would be interesting to have another peek at that world).
