In this novel we follow the second horseman of the apocalypse, War, and Miriam, as war is raging in the Middle East and into Africa. Unlike the first book, this one is enemies AND lovers at the same time. I found that quite interesting but it does lead to many moral dilemmas and dumb decisions made by our FMC. It’s these dumb decisions in the second half that annoyed me enough to lower the rating. Other than that I really enjoyed it and loved seeing how War developed throughout the story as well as his relationship with Miriam.
For those wanting to read this, there are definitely topics that many may not want to encounter so make sure to check any trigger warnings!! Without spoiling anything, there is also a trope that occurs in the last 25% that I know many people don’t like so if this could be concerning to you, make sure to check that out too!

My main problems with this book were some of the tropes that I don’t like, like
With that being said, the relationship between War and Miriam is different enough from Pestilence and Sara that it doesn’t feel like an exact copy of the book. Overall, I would recommend this to someone who wants to read the 4 Horseman series, but I do not think it will be my favorite book from the series.

Slow burn enemies to lovers, and I deducted half a point only because I felt there were some chapters that could have been merged. I never got bored reading, but some stuff could have been edited better/ made more concise.
Heed the CNs, this is not mincing words (or deeds). Spice is medium.

I am happy to be proven wrong! I would say this book is significantly better than the first in many ways. It has a bit of a slower start but the meat of the story is really hard hitting.
Im pleasantly surpfised by how different the mmc are. They could easily be clones and instead the author develops them really well.
