Ella, the Slayer

Ella, the Slayer | A. Exley

3 posts | 8 read | 7 to read

An Edwardian Cinderella retelling The flu pandemic of 1918 took millions of souls within a few short weeks. Except it wasn't flu and death gave them back. Seventeen-year-old Ella copes the best she can; caring for her war-injured father, scrubbing the floors, and slaying the undead that attack the locals. Vermin they're called, like rats they spread pestilence with their bite. Ella's world collides with another when she nearly decapitates a handsome stranger, who is very much alive. Seth deMage, the new Duke of Leithfield, has returned to his ancestral home with a mission from the War Office - to control the plague of vermin in rural Somerset. He needs help; he just didn't expect to find it in a katana-wielding scullery maid. Working alongside Seth blurs the line between their positions, and Ella glimpses a future she never dreamed was possible. But in overstepping society's boundaries, Ella could lose everything - home, head and her heart...

It‘s a soft pick but I thought it was going to be really bad, and it …was not, somehow. Silly & corny yes. But an Edwardian Cinderella story, postpandemic, with zombies and katanas. Kinda gross, kinda funny, kinda feminist. Ok then. The next one is Rapunzel where her family are doomsday preppers who take it a sign of the apocalypse that the Titanic sank. I don‘t know that I need to read it, but I‘m not convinced that I won‘t.

Ella, The Slayer | A.W. Exley

Given the somewhat dumpster fire week I had at work I‘m actually surprised I got any reading done - but still, my first #bookreport is pretty lackluster. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Top row: completed this week
Bottom row: started this week (tho made very little progress)

Essentially Cinderella the zombie killer. Not really my genre, but I was hoping for something Buffy-esque. This was pretty well done in terms of concept - the Spanish flu epidemic after WWI creates zombies, and Ella, the heroine, kills the zombies for her village. The writing style wasn't my favorite, but I'd give this a 3.5/5 ⭐ overall.
