reubenalbatross 's review for:

Pestilence by Laura Thalassa
DID NOT FINISH: 32%

The most interesting part of this book is that it made me realise that the four horsemen are angelic beings sent by God, not things from hell sent by the Devil... have thought they were 'baddies' my whole life, I’m now realising that ‘God’ is actually just a petty man who actually hates everyone, lol. 

The book started off relatively interesting, but went downhill pretty quickly, and it started to piss me off way more than I was enjoying it. One of the biggest culprits of this is that so much of the world building and timeline makes absolutely zero sense. At one point it seemed to me like they had been together at least for a couple of weeks, but Sara said it had barely been a week… 

Also, at around 20% I noticed more and more things in the writing that made no fucking sense - did the editor just give up? 

For example: 

“I peel away the sandwich's packaging, and sure enough, between the two coarse loaves of homemade bread is...jam. And only jam.”???? 

1. Slices of bread aren’t called fucking loaves. 
2. Sara’s never even heard of a jam sandwich?? Do PB&Js not exist in this world?? 

Then literally a page later she turns a light switch on, the light works for a second, then blows. IT’S PROBABLY JUST THE FUSE THEN? But instead of trying to find the fuse box to fix it, she just gives up? 

This book is not good enough for me to be able to tolerate this level of bullshite. Farewell.
