Famine started a little bit differently compare to Pestilence and War. Instead of accidentally meet the FMC during his mission, Famine and Ana (the FMC) have met before the beginning of the story. 
 
Something different that I notice from this book is the addition of Famine’s POV in the last few chapters. It’s a nice change for the story and I really wish there’s more POV by the horsemen since most of the time on the previous books we only get to see from the FMC's POV. 
 
I really like Famine and Ana growing relationship throughout the story, their previous encounter has quite a huge role in their character's development. 
Famine is slightly different than War and Pestilence, he’s not destroying human kind not only because it was his purpose but also for revenge after what the humans did to him in the past which made him feels slightly more relatable.   
 
While it may seem Famine lost his faith in humanity, he met the stubborn and lovely women - Ana for the 2nd time. 
I admire Ana for still believing the good side of humanity even though she had most of her life experiencing the bad side of it. I also love her sassy remarks and her creative way of picking a fight with Famine which is delightful! 
 
Another different aspect from this book is the ending. The previous 2 books didn’t have a cliff-hanger as huge as this one. Now I’m super interested in reading Death’s story! 
 
Overall, this is a great addition to the series. 
I’m enjoying this series so far and now after reading the book I finally understand why some of the fans said that Famine was one of their favorite. 
I’m looking forward to read the final book in this series and see how everything got wrapped up!
