I appreciated the tiny peeks we got into Famine’s perspective towards the end of the book and am now incredibly excited for the last book.
I really liked Ana’s character being a former prostitute. Ana’s years in such a harsh career made the almost paradox of her gentle heart and traumatic childhood feel realistic. Her prostitute’s confidence and brazen attitude towards Famine was also incredibly entertaining. Prostitution is often a tricky subject but the book treated the profession with respect while acknowledging negative public perceptions and physical drawbacks. This did contrast pretty sharply with the first books on the series though, especially the first, where minor characters offering sex was treated incredibly disdainfully.

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.
