A good young adult zombie book should have three genres: I love a good zombie book. So much so I wrote one myself. So, I know when it comes to a good zombie book there must be a good balance of horror, slice of life and comedy. While zombie books deal with the world ending and, well, the rotting undead, it goes without saying that zombies are scary. Being turned into a vile, rotting and walking corpse is scary. A good zombie book is scary. It’s horror. It should have the reader both disturbed and scared. However, while dealing with this, part of the horror is the world building around it. This is where the “slice of life” should come in. While the world of zombies is focused on such, it should keep in mind that life goes on. It simply goes on with a new enemy.

Introduction: As you all know, I'm in university and this term I've started taking a class on Hester Pulter. This is an incredible situation where not much is known about Pulter, as her manuscript was rediscovered in 1996. She was a poet living from 1605-1678 and she works are amazing. What's more, because her work has only been rediscovered in the past thirty years we have the amazing opportunity to be apart of the conversation. This is not a Shakespeare play where we get to explore for the millionth time, each of Pulter's poems are so fresh for the conversation that we get to help build this conversation. So, as I do this in class, I will be using this blog to write down all my thoughts and notes as I personally read through her works and do my best from the stance as a writer and also as a university student to unpack this beautiful moment in time.

In the kingdom of Ipuinia, the status of Aristricata relies on one thing: whether you have elemental blood or you do not. The ability to control one of the four elements means power, and power is status. Have a stronger elemental ability, earn the favor of the queen and find yourself royalty by status. At least, that's what happened for Ciara Roisin's older brother Fionn Roisin. From the rags of a village devastated by poverty to the riches of being the Heir Prince's royal guard. He brought royal status to the name Roisin, allowing Ciara Roisin to rise to status of nobility. Unfortunately for her, becoming nobility due to her brother's rank will be the least of her problems under the Queen's watchful glare. Not to mention the secret attractions of one heir Prince, and of course where there is magic, there will always be the threat of a deep darkness. Update: Every Sunday!
