FIRST OF ALL
Notes for safety gang. For those of you who don't know at that place's a group of Goodreads romance readers who hate to find things in our reads that ruin our fun. Nosotros don't have time to waste matter with adulterous, rapist heroes, and we consider other woman interaction as cheating. It ruins the romance for united states. Happy endings are a must for many of us.
Cheating: (view spoiler)[ NO (hide spoiler)]
Other Woman subsequently coming together: (view spoiler)[ NO Yay!*dances the conga* (hide spoiler)]
Other Men: (view spoiler)[ NO (hide spoiler)]
Violence: The graphic violence ratchetes up. In comparison, Pestilence'due south violence was less in your confront.
Doormat heroine: In my opinion no. That's the reason for my high rating. I love Miriam more than Sara.
Abuse: (view spoiler)[Phychological aye.
Concrete No. Not like in Pestilence
Sexual in that location were rape attempts but thanks god the heroine does everything in her power to stop rape (an impossibility during war times, war and rape come up paw in hand) and somewhen the hero stopped the sexual abuses that occurred in his army camp because Miriam herself was attacked. There's not a single fourth dimension when H gets involved in those crimes. How sad I accept to bespeak out, it should be a given that NO HERO SHOULD EVER RAPE OR APPROVE RAPE simply you know that lately nosotros tin detect rapist heroes in books marketed as romance. Withal, for a while War ignored humans, he acted very indifferently towards them, after all he'southward at that place to kills us, so there are mentions that there was rape in his camp. He stopped this when he brutal for the heroine, but conscientious if this is something that tin trigger you. (hide spoiler)]
HEA: (view spoiler)[ Sort of. It's more similar a Happy for at present, just the adept news is that it seems similar the couple of volume 1 Pestilence is still well and happy!!! So I'd say in Famine, volume 3 of this series we will find all our people still happy. I'yard really excited about that. (hide spoiler)]
Bareback sex activity. (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)]
Mismatched sexual pasts: Yes considering REFORMED MANWHORE!!! He doesn't have eyes for anyone afterward meeting the heroine. Thank you and then much for that Thalassa. Would take preferred if his by hadn't been mentioned at all just it didn't play anything with the romance. No X'south, no slutshaming of the x's. No OW drama. The romance was great, in my opinion.
Religion: I praised Pestilence to no terminate because it approaches religion in a non-religious way. This book follows the same BRILLIANT neutral approach. If y'all looked upward the world "religion" in your ebook reader it will return 9 results and none of them favors a organized religion to a higher place some other.
Case in signal Result 2 of 9
All religions want the aforementioned affair-salvation. I tin hear my father's voice similar an echo from the past. Nosotros're all the same
or
Result 4 of nine
Only not everything is normal. Later on all, there's no indictation that organized religion exits here. Granted, I've but been at camp for a twenty-four hours, then mayhap I just need to be patient. However, so far there have been no calls for prayer and no public sermons. I oasis't seen anything that indicates which god -if any- these people believe in.
Anyone who disagrees with my POV, could you delight quote which parts of the book contradict my statements?
I didn't notice anything here that could be offensive to the Abrahamic creeds: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. If anything, the mentions of faith in books like City of Bones and Angelfall are potentially more than risky to become offensive for some creeds considering the protagonists of those books, Jace and Archangel Raphael question the idea of God and their own biblical origins. Withal those books are insanely pop and then I applaud Thalassa for the very unique way she transformed 4 biblical figures into interesting Romance heroes in a manner that can exist respectful to all creeds. BRILLIANT. It almost makes me give this book 5 stars.
There are some things hither that didn't work for me personally but those accept nothing to exercise with safety or romance. As a safe romance I highly recommend this book, almost as much as I recommend Pestilence. If you read only for the romance there's a lot of good things to detect hither. However, fans of postal service-apocalyptic books that don't care much for romance might observe hard to append disbelief around some situations because (view spoiler)[ it's not realistic to await that expressionless bodies can be movement around by supernatural powerful beings without making man sick. People who work around dead bodies follow certain procedures. There were other unrealistic things here that didn't ruin my enjoyment. If y'all're here simply for the romance I don't think any of those things volition bother you. (hide spoiler)]
I propose to approach this book not equally Postal service-apocalyptic story but as a VERY unique, VERY original Paranormal romance that stepped a tad flake into erotic romance territory (not every bit much every bit A Court of Mist and Fury, but unlike that book, War isn't marketed toward eleven-13-twelvemonth-old-children). Merely don't look this volume to exist as unique as Pestilence. The whole premise is still mode different than most Fantasy romances out in that location. It's compelling and makes for a fun read, but some aspects of this story aren't equally original (some overdone romance tropes here that in no way ruin the entertaining factor of the volume) or idea-provoking every bit Pestilence. Information technology'south a totally different volume with a totally dissimilar Hero, who isn't as willing to evidence his vulnerability as his brother, our honey Pest the conqueror.
Side annotation ABOUT THE BRILLIANCE OF THIS BOOK considering a bussiness perspective inside this spoiler tag. DON'T READ unless yous're interested in the behind the scenes of publishers and the agenda against indie authors: (view spoiler)[I tin can't exist the merely one who notices that lately indie authors have been targeted by members of the GR customs. Also there has been a lot of fake ad in the GR features. I want to point out that imitation marketing is a huge trigger for me because I PAY FOR MY Ain BOOKS AND Dissimilar MANY INFLUENCERS, I'Thousand NOT PURSUING A CAREER IN PUBLISHING. This book has been marketed honestly so I recommend it. I've been saying all forth that many people in Goodreads mail reviews that hide problematic content of books published by the big 5 publishers or/and attempt to discourage readers from discovering authors similar Laura Thalassa among many other talented writers. Why? Because many people including influencers recall wrongly that the only mode to get published is by getting an agent and/or the proficient will of the big publishers. If you're doing that, if y'all're covering up p@rn content or posting fake reviews to hurt this author or whatever other, hoping to gain the proficient will of publishers you're selling yourself cheap. My contacts tell me that publishing contracts lately aren't Stephanie Meyer's-contract-dandy. This book opened at number 7 (I heard it peaked at five) on release day on AMAZON with no pre-sales menstruum, and barely any marketing at all other than the author's hard work that reflects in having been publishing ORIGINAL, UNIQUE serial in the past half-dozen years consistently and gaining new readers each time. This book is withal summit of several amazon lists and it has been consistently on the top 100 for weeks. This author didn't commencement with these numbers. She kept working and publishing until she got them. Thalassa, Shannon Meyer, C.N. Crawford, Jaymin Eve, among many others might not exist as famous every bit indie stars similar Howey, Forrest, Hockings, Hoover, Ward, only if what authors Brianna Aubrey And many traditionally published New adult fantasy authors, currently marketed as YA by their big v, tin can't get 3500 Goodreads ratings within their offset month of release. Even well-known authors. This book is sold exclusively on Amazon, no paperback nonetheless and is already past 5000 Goodreads ratings. And so if whatsoever of the Goodreads superlative reviewers who are using their Goodreads accounts and blogs to assail indie authors or hide problematic content of the big five publishers is reading this post, delight consider other options that don't imply posting lies in our Goodreads community. Perchance there are other means to achieve your dreams that don't require you to scoop depression. (hide spoiler)]
https://brennaaubrey.net/ and Jex Lane published on their blogs is truthful these authors must exist receiving inside the week of their release what many of the trad-published authors volition receive every bit advance. Possibly more.

I like the QT's review grade. It was a corking tool to analyze objectively my rating.
Characters: 5 stars
How tin can't I love Miriam more than Sara? Sara was a good heroine, only she was more willing to have Pest's logic and his part in our extermination until almost the end of book 1. Miriam? (view spoiler)[ she fought her husband's mission from the moment she met him. She knew she was no match for her "hubby" physically, that she wasn't accepted past the people around him, that she wasn't even properly trained for state of war, just she did what she could to save as many lives equally she could. And she killed a couple of rapists. I read some reviews calling her wishy washy and I strongly disagree. Miriam didn't waver in her purpose, not even when passion consumed her. And under those terrible circumstances I tin can understand why she needed sex. THIS Woman WAS SO LONELY! Sex became a mean for her purposes and a manner to connect to someone else. And I applaud a heroine that ENJOYS sexual activity! I tin can't stand up backside that STUPID thought many romance writers accept that man can't and won't resist sexual practice, while women not merely tin can, just somehow should if they want to go their happy endings. How many times we have read well-nigh separated couples and find H sleeping effectually during the separation and the stupid h waiting in disgusting, unequal chaste? I hate those kind of tropes and that's why I honey this book so much. (hide spoiler)]
War on the other hand was and so hard to love AT Starting time. (view spoiler)[Half the book he made me miss his brother Pest. Remember when we met Pestilence he was minding his own concern when Sara shoot him? And he was in hurting! And he asked Sara for a fleck of humanity, a bit of MERCY a bit of HUMANITY even though he was the most powerful being nosotros accept met so far inside this mail service-apocalyptic world! He was vulnerable and stiff at the same time e'er since the opening chapter of his volume. And later he becomes fifty-fifty more vulnerable and even MORE POWERFUL as love finds him. War shows no hurting, no physical vulnerability and his devotion to Miriam seems at kickoff more than like a dominance affair than true, passionate honey. But somewhen War shows u.s.a. how he fell hard for Miriam and in doing that we could run into a footling of compelling vulnerability in him. Similar Miriam I was surprised when I realized I was in love with War. I didn't fifty-fifty realized when that happened! I was certain I didn't similar War at all even after the 65% mark, and suddenly, I didn't know when, I didn't know how. I was rooting for him! I was smiling when he was smile and got dead worried when things seemed to become terribly wrong for him. It was magical!!! (hide spoiler)]
Character relationships: 4 stars
It was only War and Miriam and for me it was hard at first to root for them. I was rooting solely on Miriam. In full general, Thalassa's books are always focused on the couple and their relationship. At that place wasn't an equivalent of the elderly couple hither like there was in Pestilence and I missed that so much.
Pace: 5 stars
Despite my not caring much for War and his raids this book grabbed me and it was difficult to put down. The last 25% of the book is unputdownable. Ignore the DNF's reviews because this book saves the all-time for concluding.
Steam: NO STARS. I remember several sexual activity scenes but just two worked for me. 1 of these sex scenes was every bit icky equally the one described in a court of wings and ruin, but Hey! at least this is marketed towards adults and not to xi-13 YO children. I also hated the overuse of porn language. Zippo wrong with dirty talk, only Rhapsodic is one of my favourite books ever and that kind of classy, romantic, creative, not over-descriptive and yet supersteamy sex scenes is what rocks my boat. In other words I only liked the sex scenes that were similar to those of Pestilence and Rhapsodic and there weren't enough of those.
Beginning: 4 stars
The opening chapter didn't pull me the way Pestilence did, but if yous don't compare, it was still engaging and well-written.
Middle: four stars
Catastrophe: 5 stars
The last 25% is the best office.
Overall: 4stars
Trigger warnings for (cheating?, rape?, complimentary angst?):
I already posted my warnings, and I wouldn't call the malaise that comes with the end of world as "gratuitous malaise". The title itself is a trigger alarm.
What I liked the nigh most War in ten words or less:
I can't say everything I liked nigh this book in 10 words. So many things worked well here. Once again if you don't compare to Pestilence you may relish this one a lot.
What I didn't similar about War in ten words or less:
An ancient powerful paranormal being using modern porn language.
Thank you QT's for inviting me to read with yous. I'm so glad to run across honest, real users who PAY FOR THEIR Own BOOKS (non a unmarried ARC or booktour review on this BR) enjoying a rubber book like this 1. Bravo QT'south.

Original
I just realized Pestilence inverse cover. What happened? Does Anyone know? I tin't take this series seriously anymore with a comprehend like that.
