Average rating3.8
The beautiful cover has claimed another victim. So much promise, so much left to be desired.
Pestilence is a solidly average book. It was good enough for me to finish, but I feel no great desire to pick up the next one in the series.
The four horsemen of the apocalypse is usually biblical and steeped in religion. Thankfully, there's no proselytizing. So, there's that to be grateful for as an atheist/agnostic.
I think the writing style wasn't for me, and I needed more from Sara, the main character. Literally plague made flesh is wiping humanity from the land, yet there's Sara, almost not even bothered by it all because Pestilence is a McHottie with abs. Where's the soul crushing anguish? The guilt? The grief?
As for the writing style...
He knows exactly what she's forgiving him for, and he's covering up the fact that he-is-shook.
