I swear, all zombie stories should be required to include a plausible origin story in order to be published (at least Seanan McGuire, bless her, managed a capital job of that). All of the other zombie stories I've read seem to have been written by South Park's gnomes:
Phase 1: Normal world
Phase 2: ?????
Phase 3: ZOMBIES!!!
While the post-apocalyptic worldbuilding is somewhat interesting, I have to admit that I never found these stories particularly gripping or compelling, and I found the religious aspect simply tiresome. And since they're told from the point-of-view of someone other than the Knight, I felt as though I never really got to see enough of him to feel invested in him. There are hints that the angels are not really angels, but something more interesting--but at this point, I'm not interested enough to read the third story to find out. Rating: 2 Mehs. YMMV.
