Their relationship was heartbreaking, heartwarming and hysterical.
I think because these two probably have the darkest backstories, the banter between them was necessary. And I ate it up. Their dynamic made a lot of sense for both of them. And honestly I loved Ana falling in love with Famine when he was at his absolute worst. Because both of them were deprived of actual love and to see them give it to each other unconditionally was the best.
And I loved the way the book ended, definitely more of a cliffhanger than the previous two and a great setup for the final installment in the series.
2/5 on the spicy scale. Again I felt this was more innuendo than actually dirty sex scenes. Plus you don’t get any spice till 65% into the book. But I think this couple didn’t really need that for their relationship, theirs was emotional first and then physical.

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.
