Pestilence by Laura Thalassa

adventurous dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

3.0

this book is okay. pestilence is a great character, i think he has great character development. the fmc is what brought my rating down. she’s actually the most annoying fmc i’ve ever had the misfortune of reading. 

first she could not make up her mind with how she felt with pestilence. not only that,
when she did know what her feelings were, she still wouldn’t tell him or let him know but she wanted to hear all about how pestilence loved her
. like girl. 

on top of that, she knew exactly what pestilence’s purpose was on earth, he’s said it SO MANY times
so what the hell do you mean she left him bc he did his job a little more efficiently. like girl what were you expecting
. i get that his purpose isn’t the best but yall knew what was coming and didn’t change during the five years that the horsemen were asleep, yall deserve it so stop whining. 

this is “i can change him” to the fuxking max
but she didn’t even really fix him, like yes he changed but she did nothing but complain about how inhumane it is for him to do his one job which is his sole purpose.


furthermore,
the first time she told him she loved him was to help convince him to stop spreading bc sickness and to undo what he did. how fckn manipulative. you kept your feelings to yourself and only told him when you wanted something. also she was so mad when she realized he would kill the world for her. like girl that is the BEST trope and she was like “omg i need to leave him he’s terrible😰” shut the f up please you knew what he was capable of.


gosh she was literally the worst part of the book which sucks bc she’s the main character. ESPECIALLY at the end was a struggle to get through. the majority of the book i could deal with her but towards the end she was so annoying and she got on my nerves every time she spoke. she was just so stupid as well. if she was written differently then this book would’ve gotten a 4 stars or smth. 

but other than that it’s an alright book and pestilence was terrible at the beginning but i mean i would be too if someone shot me and set me on fire. 

but his character development made his so so sweet and so soft spoken and gah he made my heart flutter so much.
victor is a terrible name tho.
