This has been my favourite of The Four Horsemen.

In it, we have headstrong, resilient Ana who refuses to simply accept humanity's lot. Although she has a brave face, it's clear she doesn't truly believe herself to be worthy at times, often thinking she's simply going along with Famine's murderous adventure, yet it's not true at all. We see her bravery when she stands up to him and others, time and time again. She never lets her tragic past determine her; holding her head high and her sexuality like a weapon.

Famine on the other hand is snarky and wears his cruelty as a shield to hide his past trauma. Ana's single act of kindness has stuck with him through the years as humanity (understandably) fights back against their destruction. He sees Ana for who she is, and never balks at her past or her hope.

The banter between these two was hilarious, and it was wonderful watching them slowly fall for one another. However, fair warning, that Famine is the cruelest of the Horsemen yet, and there are a lot of needless and graphic deaths.

Higher rating because Famine didn't change. Also responsible sexual behaviour discussions pre-coitus 👍 But God, was that FMC annoying.
