What They Say
The epic battle between the royals comes to a head as Hime faces down her biggest challenge yet: a town filled with the living dead. But Hime's blood warriors are unable to protect her. With Hiro at her side, she must save the town, kill the zombies, and find out who unleashed them. Dark secrets will be revealed, and when the culprit is put on trial, there can be only one fitting punishment: death.
The Review!
On a tip from an unusual messenger with definite motives of his own, Hime heads out to a small, isolated town to see if her long-lost brother really is hiding there. That seems to be confirmed when they're attacked by an extremely powerful blood warrior. But that isn't the only ace up the prince's sleeve - he destroys the easy routes out of town and proceeds to unleash an army of zombies!
Unluckily, Flandre runs out of power, but not before the group manages to locate the hiding place of the survivors. Forcing her way in with her usual elan, Hime takes charge and runs roughshod over the locals, who proceed to act in the usual stupid ways that small groups of survivors typically do during a zombie apocalypse. When a clever trick reveals their location and their sanctuary is breached, things get tricky, but luckily for them they have a werewolf on their side, and it just so happens to be the night of the full moon.
But there's more to this trap than just zombies, and Hime winds up in court, accused by Severin of releasing zombies! There's more revealed about the Royals and Hime's past that actually sort of detracts from the fun of the book - when it's just about completely absurd B movie monsters and chainsaws, it just works. When the more coherent story elements are drawn in, the weaknesses of the whole thing are thrown into sharp contrast. But it's really a minor quibble, and the preview of the next volume certainly makes it look like things are going back to what Princess Resurrection does best - cheesy, over the top violence and mayhem.
