Their challenges offer insight as to what privileges non-Blacks had in the 1870s and still have today. But that at the end of the day, Jane and Katherine’s constant conflict with these themes ultimately enforced the argument that these women did A LOT just to survive. Of course, there were other themes like sexuality, sexism, race, pretty privilege, disability, justice etc. I felt like this sequel had a central theme of survival. While Jane and Katherine are alike in many ways, they each offer a different take on the challenges they face. I truly loved the dual POVs because it offers a deeper insight into both character’s lives. In DEATHLESS DIVIDE, Ireland incorporates Katherine’s POV while Jane sets off on her own quest. But this time, they must go their separate ways. Once more, Jane and Katherine are thrusted into the western frontier. And sure enough, Nicodermus crumbles just as Summerland did. Despite Jane and Katherine’s warnings, the town of Nicodermus refuses to believe a hoard could break through their walls. But what they find instead is a repeat of Summerland and on top of that, the undead hoard from Summerland is closing in. After the fall of Summerland, Jane and Katherine journey to Nicodermus to seek refuge. The zombies are back but this time, they are smarter and deadlier.
DEATHLESS DIVIDE is the sequel to Justina Ireland’s best-selling novel, DREAD NATION.
