2.5 stars.

Slightly better than Pestilence.

Pestilence was boring and certainly hated it to kill people. War is pretty much Ares (or is Ares like War? who knows) as both enjoy battle, killing, bloodlust etc. War has zero issues with the fact that his men would rape women in the war camp until it would’ve happened to Sara. (All these rape/sexual assault mentions really tell me that I would just kill myself if we have to live through an apocalypse.)

The ending is so … ugh, stereotypical? It’s an happy ending but so predictable.

I hope that Death will live up to his two scenes because he’s an ass in both.

Concerning the world state: Pestilence went through the USA and Canada with parts of Mexico. War took Asia (from Vietnam starting), the Middle East and Egypt/Sudan. I suppose that one book will play in Europe then. South America and Africa (aside Egypt & Sudan) are still possibilities but somehow I doubt that one of the remaining books will play there.

I enjoyed this one more than the first. Very inventive World but I hope the next book doesn’t follow the same rhythm (bad boy meets good girl then good girl spends whole book changing bad boy while feeling guilty for wanting said bad boy). It’s becoming predictable.

The whole concept of this series is unique, paired with Laura's writing and you have a fantastically dark, post apocalyptic romance and what in the world- I ate it up!

I loved the strong willed heroine in this story. She was very much a "take no sh*t" from anyone type of person, the horseman especially! This was very much a hate to love scenario. War was pretty smitten from the jump and seeing his coldhearted exterior soften the longer he was with Miriam was so sweet! I love being able to see the hero open up and change his outlook all because of the women he loves. It just does it for me, friends. It really does.
