This was going to be a 3.5 until the last few chapters. They really saved the slump this book would have fallen into.

5.0

The second book in this series, War, fell a little flat for me so I was really hoping this book would not let me down! And, I have to say, Famine was excellent! The characters were actually relatable, lovable, and did not at all lack depth! I also found it refreshing that Famine did not give up his mission simply because he finally saw the good in humanity like his brothers. Instead, it was mainly because of his want to protect and respect the main female character. This book also set the reader up for the last book in a fun way! I feel as if everything has been tied together well so far! I am excited but also saddened to read the final book in the Four Horseman series!

Not gonna lie: most of the book is a 3-star read. A lot of it is ground we've covered in the previous books, and I wish the author would delve more into (or be more clear about) the more theological side of their role as Horsemen. Three books in, and it's still quite murky. Maybe I expect too much. That said, it's still an engaging read, and the last line of the book is what pulled a down-to-the-wire bump in score out of me. Looking forward to the last one.
