Oh god it gets worse in book 15, Cincinnati.
Literally dozens of brow furrowings and pursed lips per page, it seems like. It's actually gotten to semantic satiation at this point.

The actual story is good: the government's last ditch effort was to turn stadiums around the country into self-sufficient fortresses. Cincinnati's one has a fire that burns their entire stockpile of food and seeds and medicine within 2 weeks, and they have to find more or starve.
So the characters are good, they are all problem-solvers, the story has high stakes, etc.
But jesus fucking christ with the brows furrowing and the pursed lips my dude.

There's scenes where they are talking and each character is relentlessly furrowing their brows and pursing their lips nonstop the entire time. Certain shoulders are squared as well, sometimes chins jut upward.
Literally what every character is doing at all times.
I don't even know what the fuck "squaring shoulders" means, I have to assume literally every character has awful postural issues and is otherwise constantly slouching and slumping until they "square their shoulders"
I have to imagine every single character is standing like Rya unless they are squaring their shoulders, and just constantly cycling between exactly two facial expressions every few seconds.
I don't want to pick on Derek Slaton, he's literally one out of a thousand male zombie authors who doesn't add rape scenes wherever possible.
But these furrowed brows and pursed lips and squared shoulders, my god.
