I really loved this series. I remember Pestilence blowing me away. I am so glad I finally managed to read the conclusion of the four horsemen's story. I thought Lazarus was a really interesting character, and her inability to die was a great touch for death's book. There were so many interesting quotes about life, death, love, and humanity. I really enjoyed this book. I will say some of the plot felt a little forced (but that could be due to the creator Herself's influence), and the ending was very predictable. However, a predictable ending could be good if it's due to good writing or it could be bad if it's cliche or unoriginal. I felt like it might have been a little bit of both (reminded me of twilight -if you know you know). Overall, I think this series was fantastic and had a solid ending. I would 100% recommend this series and if you need the push to read the final book this is it. It's dark and it's lovely.

This has got to be one of the most over hyped, underwhelming series I’ve read. It’s such an intriguing premise, and maybe with a better writer it could have been better, but I’m sorry to say that I just don’t think Ms. Thalassa is that good of a writer - repetitive and recycled plots, terrible “romance” and sex scenes, ham-fisted morality, all rounded up in seemingly half-researched settings.
Anyways, I’ve slogged through and now I can put them behind me without any lingering thoughts.
