Was it slightly disappointing? Yes.
Did I already know it was going to be that way? Also yes.
I set my hopes too high thinking this book was going to save the series for me. And I saw it coming but it was still disappointing.
I knew Death was going to be my favorite horsemen. I have a thing for dark, winged man—I can’t help it. I like his story with Lazarus, their tensión and when she was making him experience first times, however, the general plot was the same for four very long books. I had enough of abandoned cities, roads, horses, and dead bodies since book two.
I understood why Ben’s storyline was introduced for Lazarus but I constantly forgot about him, it felt too rushed and there was not enough interaction with us, the readers, to care more about the baby.
The Horseman reunion/crossover was fun, the ending was intense but predictable.
What really frustrated me was the entire series feeling pointless in the end. I thought there was going to be a superior reason why God was sending his Horsemen to eradicate the world and murder billions of people. The change in humanity that the Horsemen were hoping and expecting never happened, all of the main characters were tortured at some point, you cannot convince me that humanity became better. The only reason why the Horsemen changed their mind was because they fell in love and had families.
I don’t think I’ll read a book from Laura again, I think it was a very creative and original idea for a series, but the execution wasn’t for me.
