War by Laura Thalassa
4.0
Compared to Pestilence, this one was a lot different.
Pros:
- Lot more characters were introduced and kept in this book. Which made it a lot better.
- War already had learned a lot of human attributes (eating, drinking, etc.) so it wasn't a large leap for him to learn how to love and forgive.
- Love that the author puts consent front and center. People forget the crimes against women in the time of war.
- The were a surprising touch.
Cons:
- The romance was a tad tough to swallow. The way Pestilence learned to love Sara was much more believable than the way War instantly fell for Miriam.
- The religion, or the lack there of, was very tough to swallow. Especially since it was written to be in areas where religion has been front and center as a reason for war.
- Similarly, the dialogue was much more informal. It would follow a much different cadence if it was in Arabic/Hebrew and 'translated'.
Despite all that, I liked the ending better. I wish there was a reunion of Pestilence and War. But a girl can wait until Death appears.
