Famine by Laura Thalassa

dark medium-paced

0.25

Famine is a pale imitation of the plot of Pestilence and the character development of War. It lacks relationship growth between the two leads.

To put it bluntly, they are both horny on main and decide that jumping each other's bones in the later half of the book is enough to build a relationship on. Ana decides to f*ck the Horseman and that's it. Famine decides that the world can continue to exist because he likes f*cking Ana but only for Ana's lifetime, no promises.

I guess what I didn't like about them is that they're selfish and refuse to change this mindset. Also there is a lot, and I mean a lot of violence in this book (like Game of Thrones level of senseless violence).

I almost applauded when Death showed up in the end because he brought back a sense of reality to Ana and Famine (that Famine has responsibilities and he has to make a choice). But Ana and Famine still escape Death's clutches and ride off like Bonnie and Clyde. I hope Thanatos puts them in their place in the next book.
