I loved Miriam as a character. When I think of someone able to overcome the apocalypse, she’s the type to survive. 
There were some points of the story that felt incredibly familiar to the first of the series. And at first, I was concerned that the author couldn’t make substantially different storylines when the premise of both book (or the whole series) is the same. My fear was that two stories of Apocalypse Harbingers fallings for women desperate to stop them by any means, couldn’t possibly be unique and interesting. While there were similar elements to the stories, I am happy to say the fear was mostly unfounded.

I was about to give this 3 stars because the story felt a little repetitive and predictable in between. Which makes sense because the set up is basically the same in the first book: a horseman comes & the girl tries to stop him. Plus, there were a few moments when I was genuinely annoyed at the protagonist, but after longer consideration, her actions and thoughts made sense and were right for the situation, so I came to terms with her personality.
And THEN I read the ending. I liked the way things were solved. Moreover, despite what I mentioned before, I still love the whole apocalyptic set up and the moral and emotional conflicts that it brings with it.
But what really got me was: THE LAST SENTENCE. It was so fitting. Just the right amount of creepy foreboding. And we all know how hard it is to like the last sentence of a book...
