Zombie infestation yuri. Wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. The two leads have great energy, and the story flows very well. It has a nice sense of journey and adventure. Not too predictable, but not too unexpected either. The magic is thankfully very simple, and doesn't involve long info dumps or mechanics. There's a great balance between the inner monologue and dialogue.
Also the audiobook is amazing!! Both leads have separate narrators (tho only one is the PoV character), and both do an excellent job.

I'm not much into zombies, but the addition of magic (and a magical penguin 🐧?!) sounded interesting enough for me to try it out.
The beginning was pretty fast-paced and a lot of fun to read. Unfortunately it slowed down a lot after the first 20% or so. I considered dropping it halfway through, but since it seemed like the preparation was finally done and we're starting with the actual plot I still continued on. Unfortunately though, at least in my opinion the rest of the book never really goes anywhere satisfying plotwise.
It doesn't help that the magic is extremely simple and extremely powerful, with both high utility and high combat strength, and really easy to use for our protagonist without any major drawbacks. It's just not very interesting, and on top of that it's a bit of a shame that it makes the pair pretty one-sided in terms of power and utility.
In the end I think this might be fun for people who are actually into zombies, but I cannot recommend it for anyone who's just interested in it because it seems to promise more than just zombies.
PS: The audiobook is quite nice! If you read it, definitely listen to the audiobook at the same time.
