Love the cross reference to Egyptian mythology

CHAPTER 24 WAS MY FAVORITE CHAPTER IN THIS WHOLE SERIES. The ball, Ana's dress, the massacre, THE WAY ANA EXPLODED AT THIS MAN AND TOLD HIM TO STOP WHINING. AGHHH I LOVED IT ALL I NEED MORE!!!

There was this massive build up leading to what happened to Famine in the past. They spent so much time constantly bringing up his trauma and KILLING me with curiosity. And then it was just...that. I mean, it was sad of course but I expected that. It was too plain. Unless they explain it in more detail later in the book? I hope they do because that was a little stale for the hype.

Oooooo okay, now we get to go back in time and see how they first met. So far, I don't think Famine was originally so cruel or that he even had intended to majorly hurt anyone at all. It seems like he became this way after humans, realizing he was a horseman of the apocalypse, captured and tortured him in an attempt to stop the end of the world. He seems to have quite the trauma.

So far things are moving much more quickly than in the other books. I already love Famine's personality and how he literally just doesn't care about anything. I also love Ana more than the other female protagonists. And of course I always love Death so it was fun that he made his appearance so early in the story.

The online fan translation is bothering me and I wish there was an official translation available. Chinese is just such a hard language...but I'm still going to read this as best as I can because I am a die hard fan of the drama adaptation, Revenged Love. Also, we just met Chi Cheng and Little Jealousy...how can I quit now when things are just getting good? (Also where is Wu Suo Wei getting all these bricks?)

Oh pregnancy. That changes a lot of things...

"I see his age then, in his eyes. Thousands upon thousands of years of wars. So many lives and so many deaths. I sense that all those years of battle have worn War down. That beneath his violence, he's held on to a spark of something that doesn't seem very War-like: peace, connection, love."

"I surrender"

"Unlike my brothers, I am unique in one fundamental way. I exist solely in the hearts of men. All creatures can experience pestilence, famine, and death - but war, true war, that is a singularly human experience."

"My brothers and I can all do the opposite of our powers - Pestilence can spread sickness and cure it. Famine can destroy crops and grow them. Death can give and take life at will. I can injure...and I can heal."

"They were all tasked to end humanity...but they were also given the tools to save it."

"The ground is moving. Not just opening but moving. It looks alive, and I can't make sense of what I'm seeing - until, that is, a desiccated hand erupts from the ground. From the earth, the dead rise."
THAT IS SUCH A SICK POWER I LOVE IT😍

"Humans make proclamations like that all the time. But their oaths are brittle and break with age. I'm not afraid of yours, but you should be afraid of mine for I will tell you this: You are my wife, you will surrender to me, and you will be mine in every sense of the word before I've destroyed the last of this world."

"I glance over my shoulder and meet War's inquisitive, violent eyes. He curls the corner of his mouth into a challenging smile. That's all it takes for me to do the one thing I hate the most: flee."
