While Pestilence wasn’t written to be incredibly plot driven, the MCs seem to be constantly facing down a new near death experience that shifts their perspectives of each other and themselves. War had almost none of that suspense built into the story, bc War OP af imo.
We are given enough information to know that Pestilence takes place 5 years after modern life basically grinds to a halt.
Which is why I’d categorize this book at late-stage apocalypse. It’s unclear but hinted that Famine takes place 5-10 years after War, and at least 22-25 years after everything starts shutting down. Which means the FMC is the first of the series who hasn’t known the world of before. I do wish that the author took a little more advantage of that fact. However, seeing as these are basically character driven books with fairly isolated POVs, the world building is admittedly scant - and there’s not much to be done about that w/o shifting the authors intent.
Moderate: Body horror
Minor: Child abuse, Sexual assault, Torture, and Addiction
So far I’d rank the 3 books so far: 🥇Pestilence (4.25/5) 🥈Famine (3.0/5) 🥉War (2.5/5)queerloras's review against another edition

- 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)
