Solid 4 from me. This book isn't breaking any major philosophy ideas but when taken at face value, it is a delicious story about a young filthy mouthed woman and her horseman. Check your warnings, know what you're getting into. The ending felt a bit brief but getting there was delightful.

This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Which is saying a lot since I love nearly every book I’ve read. A wonderful idea for a book and great execution. This book made me examine my own humanity while throughly enjoying myself while reading. I literally couldn’t put it down. I truly can’t wait to read the rest of the series because I am now sucked into the apocalyptic world of the Four Horseman.

so this book took a little while for me to get into. The beginnings of Sara and Pestilence’s relationship was…something, to say the least. I just find it very unbelievable that any kind of meaningful relationship could happen after what Pestilence put her through. Still, if I didn’t think about that part too much, the rest of the book rapidly improved. It was well written, and I enjoyed the character development, especially as their relationship progressed. It has a happy ending, for the most part! This book is basically the mascot of “I can fix him” and I enjoyed most of it. I’m pretty interested in starting the next book!
