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

So far, my least fav of the 3 horsemen. Just felt like the story was dragging.

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!

*slight spoilers*
This book caught me so off guard. When I started it I thought it was decent. Nothing too special and I very much preferred the first two.
I don't quite know when that started to change but there is something amazing about a strong-willed, badass, sassy fmc that worked so well in this book and I grew to love it.
I saw someone describe Famine as a "cinnamon roll" and I thought that was a joke until about 100ish pages from the end when I started sobbing.
Do not mistake me, this book is violent and really questions your morality, especially when it comes to the mmc BUT there is a story of redemption to be found in everyone of you look hard enough and I think that is what this author is good at writing.
