So this book was the opposite of Pestilence in that the forced proximity made sense but the romance didn’t. Miriam getting swept up into War’s camp? Reasonable. Yet somehow even with all the time Miriam and War spent together I don’t understand how she fell in love with him. Perhaps it was too subtle for me. Additionally the story ends with some things still unanswered which is irritating. Romance aside the plot was interesting and had enough action to be exciting at times.

based on a friend's review, i anticipated this book to be even better than pestilence's one, but i must admit, to me, it was not as good as the first one. i love love love how the authot takes time to introduce us to the world and describe the state of it - excellent worldbuilding, really. but i also found some info missing, whether intended by the author or not, that is, i wasn't really aware that the phobos riders were humans who actively chose to fight at war's side rather than having risen with him when his time came. however, this exact instance clearly showed how cruel humans have become and once again makes it obvious why god sent the horsemen to destroy humanity altogether. that was really something. i also adored the "the guy falls first" trope because you could really feel how war softened up to miriam over time. nevertheless, i do have extremely conflicted feelings about him...i adored him one minute, then wanted to have him dead the next. i couldn't really wrap my mind about how he could be so utterly cruel and full of hate, but then again, he's war so what would you expect? i did like how he fully surrenderd to miriam near the end of the book but I'm not sure if I'm 100% d'accord with the reasons bc i just don't like the HEA the author used (plus, i didn't like it to have the same HEA in book 1 and 2). the ending was nice and didn't seem as rushed as in book 1 and i loved that we also got some chapters in war's pov near the end. all in all, i enjoyed this book a lot and finished it within two days, but my conflicted feelings aboht war and the fact that the HEA just wasn't too much my thing led me to rate this one with 3.75 stars.

I mean, you really have to go out on a limb for the books in this series, but that being said, this one was better than the first one. As in, the romance was easier to buy than the first one. All in all, a fun time. Or, you know, as fun as war can be.

Meno strabiliante del primo e con qualche elemento che si ripresenta, ma sempre altamente piacevole da leggere. Potrebbe anche essere che prima di approcciarmi a questo volume avevo aspettative maggiori rispetto a quando ho letto il primo.
