Vale and Caspan are better suited for each other than Callie and Rain. If I had to pick between Callie and Vale's 'romance' I'd go with Vale's. Vale is totally happier than Callie though. The author exceeded at expressing how horrifying fae love can be. I'm wondering if Starbuck at all influenced how the author wrote Vale. This installment continued to give me Battlestar Galactica vibes in a cool way. ![]() ![]() It's a feat the author made me like this setting, because I haven't craved anything post-apocalyptic since COVID. At no point did I get the sense the author was serving the typical romance audience (except for when Caspan said "You're mine" lmao I can't get away from that phrase in romance). ![]() I admire the author because anytime an author writes a morally ambiguous heroine they'll get critical reviews complaining about how the heroine wasn't likable. The author explored how someone like Vale would change and grow in a post-apocalyptic environment and didn't shy away from the ugliness. She had a dry sense of humour, level of self-awareness, and good amount of negative personality traits that are rare to find in heroines. Vale could be a stone cold bitch when she wanted, and I adored reading her cynical pov. ![]() This was everything I wanted Laura Thalassa's 4 Horseman series to be and more. I think this might be one of my favorite fae stories. ![]()
