War by Laura Thalassa

4.0

Once again, Laura Thalassa delivers such a fascinating story - seeing one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse being brought to heel by the woman he's falling in love with. I thoroughly enjoy seeing these strong female main characters giving these fearsome men a run for their money, and War (the book) delivers all of that. From the moment that War (the character) declares Miriam his wife, I was completely hooked and so ready to see what journey these two were in for. There is such a war in Miriam's head for falling for this man who swears to be her protector while he is also out in the world, destroying the humans that she wants to protect. There is a push and pull throughout the book. There was only one moment where War did something rather catastrophic. It's hard to say it was redeemable, but it did make Miriam upset, and I didn't feel like War did enough to absolve himself of he did. I wish that he had groveled more and that Miriam had held to her convictions a little stronger.
Other things I enjoyed was that we get to see a new area of the world being affected and how each horseman brings about destruction for humans. I appreciated seeing the differences.
Once again, I caution readers that there are violent and graphic scenes depicted throughout the book, so be cautious of any triggers.
