Wirklich gut.
Das Buch ist super für zwischendurch und es gibt auch einiges an "Charakterentwicklungen". Aber umgehauen hat es mich nicht gerade. 🙈
Das Buch war eine totale Überraschung ❤️
Ich habe mich so auf die Reihe gefreut, weil ich sowas in der Art noch nicht gelesen habe. Und es konnte mich überzeugen. Es hatte Humor, zwischendurch war es etwas derb und war einfach mal was Neues. Das Ende kam überraschend schnell und so hatte ich es auch nicht kommen sehen. Ich kann es auf jeden Fall empfehlen und freue mich auf die Folge Bände ❤️
“Last night I could not decide which you were—a tonic or a toxin. Today I’ve discovered you’re both.”
This book was a rollercoaster when it came to rating. It left me feeling I wanted to give it 4 ⭐s and next chapter I was desperately looking for a thing to like. The overall plot and story idea was really good. Apocalyptic setting, a man on a quest to let humanity suffer because of what they did to earth, it sounds great. And was also well implemented. But in between it was so boring. It starts of really suspending, and then it just stops, except for a few situations. Overall it felt a lot more like a romance book, and I have to be honest I would’ve liked more of the end of the world vibes. In the end I did like the characters, but couldn’t decide often if Pestilence was too much of a 🚩 for me or if it just fit the character well. The other books from that series are supposed to be better so I’m looking forward to stay in this world (Laura Thalassas writing though 🤌🏼).
Was für ein unerwartetes Highlight auf meinem Kindle 🤣 hab so viel geweint wth
Hmmm...
Keine Trash-Scale nötig, weil es nicht so trashig war, wie erwartet und eigentlich echt gut geschrieben ist. Aber für eine 'apokalyptische' Story war es dann doch einfach zu langweilig und let's be honest... der smut war unterirdisch.
I did enjoy this book! It was a bit different to my usually reads but I liked it
I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to start reading the next one!😍🥹
First, I think Laura Thalassa's idea is genius. (The four Horsemen of the Apocalypse falling for mortal girls? Perfect. Immaculate. I was sooo looking forward to reading this!s) The execution...not so much and so I had some major issues with this book: The story. It was repetitive and dragging. Riding, spreading the plague and crashing in dying people's houses isn't exactly what I would call a great plot. Sara. Pestilence literally just tortured her and promised her (like 1000 times) to make her suffer and still she more or less immediately falls for him because he's pretty? Have some self-respect! Also her language was a massive let down for me, the excessive use of swear-word didn't make her look sassy and badass but rather juvenile and immature and I couldn't take her seriously. Pestilence. For a divine, otherworldly, terrifying horseman he seemed awfully mundane and boring. The ending. WHAT WAS THAT??!! I was HOWLING! But what I really don't understand is that even though I have so much to nag about, I still somehow enjoyed the book - it ist just so hilarious. I genuinely felt entertained and so much so that I want to read the next book in the series!
Alright, another book from the famous booktok or bookstagram. I had this series longer in mind but after all books are completed and saw a fantastic fanart, I gave it finally a go. First things first: this book is not amazing and not meh. It's in the middle and a nice read. It has definitely more potential, some of the chapters could be gone but otherwise you need them to understand the history. There are not a lot of books wich are using the four horsemen as the actual love interest. And hello... Pestilence is blond. And we know, what we think about the blond type, eh? Back to the story: The end is nigh, the four horsemen have come to earth to bring about the apocalypse; Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. I loved everything about Sara’s Character, she is stubborn, brave, determined and compassionate and most of all not whiny or boring which was a refreshing change. I found connecting with her really easy. I liked how she was written, like an everyday run of the mill person who was living a normal life and until the world turned to shit. Lots of her inner thoughts had me laughing on more than one occasion. Pestilence is such a complex character, sent to earth with one mission: to spread the plague which he does and it’s his singular focus until Sara. Seeing him (through Sara’s eyes) slowly beginning to understand that humans aren’t just two-dimensional beings was really something. The story itself was addictive I finished it in a day it was that good. There are many ups and downs, you get to see a variety of ways mankind acts when the worst has happened and they are not all good reactions and I really think that gave this story a real believable feel to it. More than that, I loved the inner and outer dialogues and the banter between the two. How it grows and Pestilence learns how to love as a human and what feelings are. In short: the characters were complex, the intimate scenes not over the board with graphic details and impossible acrobatics which I really liked. Sometimes a good story with a little bit of
