When you start as a Necromancer in Masterwork you will encounter a few bugs:

1. All of your pet zombies are hostile to you once you reanimate them.
2. You can become hungry and thirsty and need sleep and I assume you can die of old age.
3. Reanimating has a very very very long cool down in between uses

If you find any other bugs (relating to necromancy) please leave them here so that it will be easier for Meph to squash them.

Can your character ACTUALLY read though? Reader is an actual skill you need to read a book, quern, slab or anything like that.

Im not sure what version you're using but the necromancer adventure mode zombie hostility is related to a bug that was fixed in df version 0.40.24 

(*) Fixed a few problems with necromancers attacking (and generally being killed by) their zombies

Also i dont think the masterwork necromancer is as finesse as default necromancy is right now unless it is relevantly updated.

(Basically unless i missed a changelog since, *I think there was a more recent one* zombies are now tied to whatever alliegance the necromancer sees fit, including but not limited to necromancer citizens in your fortress raising friendly zombies against foes, and enemy necromancers being able to choose their engagements when fighting, whatever the necromancer chooses to fight, the zombies will do the same)

Yes I maxed the reader skill through df hack then tried to read a book or a slab. It did not give me the option to read the book it simply said "you have not yet read this book"
I was for some reason I was unable to read it the normal way however I then tried to interact with it and was then able to read the book.

I am using the absolute most current build of Masterwork dwarf fortress and did a reinstall just yesterday.
I think the Masterwork Necromancy needs a few tweaks to make it current.
As I stated earlier starting as a Masterwork necromancer you are missing some of the default features .

They are not intended for use in adv-mode, they are an invader-race. Thats why the cool-down of their abilities is so low. They are essentially humans, because an entire race of undying necromancers that can read/write would cause A LOT of slabs/books to be written.
