Read my review of the first book in this series: Pestilence
Publisher’s Synopsis:
“They came to earth―Pestilence, War, Famine, Death―four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all. The day Jerusalem falls to the horsemen, Miriam Elmahdy knows her life is over. Houses are burning, the streets run red with blood, and a traitorous army is massacring her people. There is no surviving this, especially not once Miriam catches the eye of War himself. But when the massive and terrifying horseman corners Miriam, he calls her his heaven-sent wife, and instead of killing her, he takes her back to his camp. Now Miriam faces a terrifying future, helplessly watching her world burn town by town, and the one responsible for it is her seemingly indestructible “husband,” who refuses to let her go. But there’s another side to him, one that’s gentle and loving and set on winning her over, and she might not be strong enough to resist. However, if there’s one thing Miriam has learned, it’s that love and war cannot coexist. She must make the ultimate surrender to War and watch humankind fall, or sacrifice everything to stop him.”
My Review:
This series has me in a chokehold like I wish a horseman would.
I love the variety between the books.
Each one takes place in a different part of the world. Each horseman has their own unique abilities and motivations. The stories and characters are new and fresh.
They read like fantastic standalones, while also connecting seamlessly to the larger plot as a whole. I like how the other brothers are mentioned in each book.
I love how each book has a different angelic concept at its core.
Each female lead comes from different backgrounds, has different experiences, and is unique in their personality. Miriam’s innocence was so endearing.
Everything about this series is real and raw.
There was a shocking surprise in this one that I wasn’t expecting and I absolutely loved.
Although I didn’t love War quite as much as Pestilence (or Famine), this was still amazing. Highly recommend and so deserving of all the hype!
