I wasn't the biggest fan of this one, personally. The most annoying thing that I can't get over in this series so far is that in both novels the horseman is changed by a woman they become obsessed with and then she becomes pregnant and they live happily ever after. 

Yes there is other stuff that goes on in the book. But the bones of the story (no pun intended) are lacking. 

War comes through, raises the dead to help kill all humankind. In the process I takes people captive and forces them to kill with him as his army. Through it all he refuses to harm Miriam, whole also keeping her captive and not allowing her human interaction. He stalks her with his dead until he convinces her to love him. Then she forces him to change and love her by taking away his purpose. Baby. Happily ever after. The end. 

Disappointing.
