- Fans of ACOTAR and dystopian societies
- Someone looking for a romance with an intriguing plot
- Those who like fantasy/apocalyptic novels that centre on romance
- Readers who like (or don’t mind) a bit of spice, but not just spice
- Those who liked and loved the first and second books (but maybe take a break between so it’s not too fresh)

I loved everything about this novel. The plot, characters, setting, dialogue, romance, suspense, and, the sex. Oh Mylanta, the sex was delightful in all the ways.
The way that the author put such a unique twist on the grumpy/sunshine trope was brilliant, as both Famine and the heroine, Ana, are also anti-heroes. This twist carried through all of the other themes in the novel, including forgiveness and sacrifice. I loved Famine’s supernatural powers: life and death, healing, and measuring the worth of souls against one another and the earth in and of itself. When he grew the rose for Ana, I squee'd in the best way.
Laura Thalassa has a great voice, and I thought that her ability to develop Ana’s character so completely through her sarcastic wit -- which was communicated solely through the written word and without dialogue tags – was really impressive.
I also loved the ending and the fact that I could not predict it! The climax was fantastic. I am now going to buy the entire series so I can fully immerse myself in the Four Horsemen’s world.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books for the opportunity to read and review this novel. All opinions are my own.
