3.0

A very slow burn, which isn’t necessarily bad considering we are trying to “normalize” a relationship between a horseman and plain Jane. However, it began to become very repetitive with ride horse-find house- shenanigans and repeat. I had a lot of fun and even understood where Pestilence was coming from but Sara… as a fellow human being it’s hard to truly understand her motives. “Oh he is so pretty!” After him making you witness countless devastation even my own brain would kick in and find it very jarring. Towards the end I couldn’t believe we were still on this journey and it began to feel like arguing for the sake of argument. Now the spice… it’s okay. Very intro level with the same descriptions used for each moment. Do not come into this book expecting smut, it’s not that. Still recommend as a fun strange story about characters since plot and world building isn’t the focus.
