Hhhhhhhhm this was a big let down, and super boring. I didn’t give to shits about the characters. Actually I really didn’t like this. 
<Spoiler> there’s nothing romantic about a man as soon as he lifts a hand to injury the mc. What a turn off

5 finally finished a series this year stars!

I really loved this series. I remember Pestilence blowing me away. I am so glad I finally managed to read the conclusion of the four horsemen's story. I thought Lazarus was a really interesting character, and her inability to die was a great touch for death's book. There were so many interesting quotes about life, death, love, and humanity. I really enjoyed this book. I will say some of the plot felt a little forced (but that could be due to the creator Herself's influence), and the ending was very predictable. However, a predictable ending could be good if it's due to good writing or it could be bad if it's cliche or unoriginal. I felt like it might have been a little bit of both (reminded me of twilight -if you know you know). Overall, I think this series was fantastic and had a solid ending. I would 100% recommend this series and if you need the push to read the final book this is it. It's dark and it's lovely.

what a bittersweet but perfect ending to this series. i have many thoughts on this one, but let's start with the most prominent one: after the ending of famine's book, i was expecting death to be way differently than he actually was in his book. i felt like he might be the harshest, most murderous one that's connected to humanity the least and, thus, doesn't give a shit about humanity. however, in the first chapters of the book it became blatantly obvious that death is the softest of the four horseman, the one who falls for the woman (lazarus) in an instant when he sees her and needs to resist the urge to claim her from the first second on. i liked the "banter" between them and the on-off-killing situation, although it's always been clear how much death feels for her. what put me off a little was the time he "captured" her and the ongoing process of that; however, lazarus meeting the other horsemen was great and essential to the story unfolding. nonetheless, for the 500+ pages i feel like the book was a bit dragged at some points and there wasn't happening very much except laz and death trying to seduce each other and falling in love. like, don't get me wrong, I'm all here for passionate lovestories with good spice, but i was essentially bored at some points and, as the storyline of all four books was essentially somewhat the same, the ending seemed incredibly predictable to me. that's not a bad thing at all and i was prepared for it but i grew hella frustrated with death and his decisions at that. the ending was beautiful and bittersweet still, and tbh i couldn't imagine it otherwise. for me, the epilogue wasn't really needed because the real ending was, to me, perfect as it is. all in all, i did probably like this one second best of the series but it still had its weaknesses.

What a fun end to this series! I loved how it was all brought back around and included the characters from the first 3 books. Definitely would recommend this series overall.

Good apart from 
I would have rated higher if the HEA didn't include babies and the book hadn't used a infant as motivation. I prefer my reads to be child free.
and I would skip the epilogue because of it.

This book was a bit harder for me to finish. I felt my interest dying out halfway through but I’m so glad I finished.

Lazarus and Death was the perfect couple to end the series with. Because you see this struggle for life and death, and you truly don’t know which way it’s going to go.

I think this book was very heavy on the characters rather than plot based, but I enjoyed the set up.

2/5 on the spicy scale still for me. While Death definitely was more of a dirty talker, I feel like the smut was filler for the book. You don’t read this series for the smut rather the development of the characters.
