This is by far the slowest of burns. Don’t expect any kisses or spicy scenes until almost the end. However this couple has the best banter of the three so far. Pestilence is still my favorite but this book is a close second. The ending was not what I was expecting at all and I’m so excited to see what happens next!

A much better entry than Pestilence and War but still just an ok read.

I enjoyed Famine & Ana - like other reviews have mentioned, it was actually quite funny considering the setting. They have good love/hate interactions, which broke up the monotony of the same recycled story of 'oh-he's-a-bad-evil-person-but-he's-so-darn-sexy-that-maybe-I'll-overlook-the-mass-murder-and-stuff' thing.

The ending was quite something, so I'm looking forward to the big reunion.
