This book caught me so off guard. When I started it I thought it was decent. Nothing too special and I very much preferred the first two.
I don't quite know when that started to change but there is something amazing about a strong-willed, badass, sassy fmc that worked so well in this book and I grew to love it.
I saw someone describe Famine as a "cinnamon roll" and I thought that was a joke until about 100ish pages from the end when I started sobbing.
Do not mistake me, this book is violent and really questions your morality, especially when it comes to the mmc BUT there is a story of redemption to be found in everyone of you look hard enough and I think that is what this author is good at writing.

In it, we have headstrong, resilient Ana who refuses to simply accept humanity's lot. Although she has a brave face, it's clear she doesn't truly believe herself to be worthy at times, often thinking she's simply going along with Famine's murderous adventure, yet it's not true at all. We see her bravery when she stands up to him and others, time and time again. She never lets her tragic past determine her; holding her head high and her sexuality like a weapon.
Famine on the other hand is snarky and wears his cruelty as a shield to hide his past trauma. Ana's single act of kindness has stuck with him through the years as humanity (understandably) fights back against their destruction. He sees Ana for who she is, and never balks at her past or her hope.
The banter between these two was hilarious, and it was wonderful watching them slowly fall for one another. However, fair warning, that Famine is the cruelest of the Horsemen yet, and there are a lot of needless and graphic deaths.
