So this book was the opposite of Pestilence in that the forced proximity made sense but the romance didn’t. Miriam getting swept up into War’s camp? Reasonable. Yet somehow even with all the time Miriam and War spent together I don’t understand how she fell in love with him. Perhaps it was too subtle for me. Additionally the story ends with some things still unanswered which is irritating. Romance aside the plot was interesting and had enough action to be exciting at times.

These books get longer, the smut gets shorter, and the story drags on with absolutely no actual plot other than ‘I’m banging a horseman. Definitely shouldn’t be banging a horseman. Oh fuck, look, here’s the consequences of my actions’
