War

I ended up enjoying this one a little more than [b:Pestilence 41831210 Pestilence (The Four Horsemen, #1) Laura Thalassa https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1563320544l/41831210.SY75.jpg 59407276] only because the female character felt more three-dimensional and realistic plus War seemed really cool. The first 3/4 of the book was great with a lot of action, ZOMBIES, descriptions of the Middle East and their camp, and some decent background characters. However, as soon as she gets pregnant it all gets a little sappy - “women trying to change men instead of just finding one they actually like” is such a trope and her constantly ragging on War to be nice is ridiculous. He's a Biblical being with a mission from God but oh nooo don't kill these people. It was like if Thanos suddenly decided to only snap 20% instead of 50% because he got his tip wet. Honestly, I was rooting for War because he was a BAMF and maybe he's here to purge humanity for a good reason, but then a pretty lady let him come inside her and that all changed. Now let's see how Famine fucks it up because of a pretty lady in the next book: [b:Famine 46837437 Famine (The Four Horsemen, #3) Laura Thalassa https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png 71882276].
