Über das Buch

They came to earth--Pestilence, War, Famine, Death--four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity.They came to earth, and they came to end us all.When Pestilence, the first of the horsemen, comes for Sara Burn's town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed.Too bad no one told her Pestilence can't be killed.Alive and furious, the horseman takes Sara prisoner, determined to make her suffer for impeding his mission. Despite her pleas, nothing and no one gets in the way of his orders to destroy humankind. Only, the longer Pestilence spends beside Sara's bravery and compassion, the more he seems to understand her, and understand humanity. And the longer Sara travels with Pestilence and his plague, the more uncertain she grows about his true feelings toward her...and hers toward him.Sara might still be able to save the world, but she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

    •○● “Why did you have to ruin the world?” the horseman retorts. “I didn’t.” “You did. Just as I don’t have to touch each man to kill him, nor do you have to personally light the world on fire to be the reason it burns.” ●○•

    MEINUNG: Das nenn ich mal eine Achterbahnfahrt 😅 Zu Beginn war ich voll in der Geschichte. Mir gefiel es, wie erklärte wurde, wie sich die Welt verändert. Kein Strom, Autos und Flugzeuge waren mal usw. Dann kam es zum ersten Zusammentreffen unserer Protas und ich war schockiert. So etwas schreckliches hätte ich Sara nicht zugetraut 🥺😞 Aber es kam noch besser und zwar die Rache von Pestilence. An dieser Stelle war ich kurz davor abzubrechen. 🫣😨 Hätte ich das getan, hätte ich wohl die berührendste Szenen verpasst. In diesen Kapiteln wurde nich nur Abscheulichkeit (in detailreichen Form) gezeigt, sonder auch Vergebung, Verbundenheit und Glaube (kein religiöser Glaube). Ich war gerührt. Es war schön zu sehen, in welchen menschlichen Mann sich Pestilence verwandelt hat. Hab dieses Buch auf englisch gelesen und ich fand es nicht all zu schwierig. Jedoch hat es mich nicht nur einmal abgestoßen, aber es ließ mich auch fühlen. Es war besser als Mittelmaß, aber ob ich es weiterempfehlen sollte ... Bin mir unschlüssig. Genauso unentschlossen bin ich, ob ich die Reihe weiterlesen soll. 🤔🫣🤯 KLAPPENTEXT: They came to earth—Pestilence, War, Famine, Death—four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all. When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her … and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

    Not my favourite work by Laura Thalassa, but I still enjoyed it greatly.

    DNF @ 20%

    I really wanted to like this. The premise of Pestilence had so much potential — one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse falling in love? Yes please. But unfortunately… this was not it for me. It very quickly turned into Stockholm syndrome ahoi. The dynamic between the heroine and Pestilence felt repetitive and uncomfortable rather than intense or romantic. Instead of meaningful development, they mostly just… bicker. Over and over. Same arguments, same tension, no real progression. And plot? I kept waiting for something to actually happen. We’re told the world is ending, but it felt oddly stagnant. I had no clear sense of direction or stakes beyond their back-and-forth. Maybe it picks up later, but at the point I stopped, I was bored, frustrated, and confused about where the story was even going. Sadly a DNF for me.
