arianna9's review against another edition
I thought it had the same plotline as the first two books and it just got old. I was getting sick and tired of switching characters. I thought the books would have been more interesting if the author stuck with Sara the whole time and didn't go to a new main character in each book. They could have easily been a standalone. Although I loved Pestilence and War, I thought Famine was too long and would take me two library loan periods (each about three weeks.) I would easily recommend reading just one or two of the books, for instance, if you want a longer novel go with books 3 or 4, but not all of them.

A much better entry than Pestilence and War but still just an ok read.
I enjoyed Famine & Ana - like other reviews have mentioned, it was actually quite funny considering the setting. They have good love/hate interactions, which broke up the monotony of the same recycled story of 'oh-he's-a-bad-evil-person-but-he's-so-darn-sexy-that-maybe-I'll-overlook-the-mass-murder-and-stuff' thing.
The ending was quite something, so I'm looking forward to the big reunion.
