A review by hauntedhexgirll
War by Laura Thalassa

3.0

At first I was really hopeful I would like this one more than Pestilence, because I liked how War was experienced and seemed to be thrilled that Miriam was a fighter and I loved the tension in the beginning of him wanting her but her hating him.

But then she stopped hating him way too fast and too easy. She forgives him after a few hours or days pass and she’s over it and ready to sleep with him again.

I had fun with this book, there was things I really liked in it. I liked the whole thing about her scar meaning surrender in Angelic, and that he interpreted it as her surrendering to him but in the end it was the opposite. I think that part of the book was really clever.

This book was also really repetitive just like the first one. And it was also very similar to the first one. With just a few differences here and there, it was practically the same story honestly. Including the ending, is Death going to spare all the horsemens’ partners?

Regardless, it was still a good time. I flew through the first 300 pages because I was having a fun time, but the book honestly could’ve been a bit shorter.

Also I’m not always a hater in the unexpected pregnancy trope, but it felt like a really cheap shot to force War to change in this book. I would’ve liked it more if he would’ve changed just for Miriam in the end, not for a baby.
