I agree, it's really good. So is the rest of the triology.
Another really good one: Dread Nation, by Justina Ireland.
At the battle of Gettysburg, the dead started walking. North and South quickly found an uncomfortable peace, and turned to fight the new enemy. And when people are needed for a dangerous, unpleasant job, those who are seen as most expendable tend to be sent to the front line.
Jane McKeene attends Miss Preston’s School of Combat for Negro Girls. Fighting shamblers is no joke, especially when you're not allowed to have guns, but the shamblers are slow and stupid, and your scythes are sharp. The really scary danger is the white men watching from the barricades, who might decide to shoot you if they think that a shambler has bit you, or the scientist who needs a "volunteer" to test a cure, or the white ladies who might hire you to protect them, only to have you sent to the front if they decide you act too uppity.
