It's the exact same as the first two books. I'd rather not read the same book with different names for a 3rd time.

*slight spoilers*
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.

my fave out of the series so far, holy shit.
famine and ana are the most likable main characters we've had imo, and their romance and banter is so sweet.
i feel like they were a really good balance of enemies to lovers, and after reading pestilence + war back to back, i was wanting a female main character who actually wasn't gonna try and change their horseman, even understand his cause. and i got exactly that!

“And my friend, we’re both discovering that nothing stokes my rage like trying to harm my flower.” Famine was so so good. I loved every second of this book I really did. It made me feel so much. For starters Famine was actually funny like laugh out loud funny, I didn’t think she could actually give one of them a personality that was really worth while until she did. On top of that for some odd reason this book gave me slow burn grumpy sunshine vibes despite not technically being one, because
what do you mean they don’t bang until 80% into the book
. And then on top of this book already being good
this man literally fought Death for her
. I didn’t think it could get better than what War did Miriam but it definitely did. The only reason this isn’t a 5 star is because I didn’t love the ending.
