Review:
Myth: 3.5/5
The Horsemen are back, Famine, War, Death, Conquest and Magic. Magic, or Angel still has to come to terms with a lot of identities, her past, her magic and her genders. This book sees her working through all of that as the Horsemen try to stop a coming war on Earth.
I was really pulled into the story in the first book, though there was a lot of world building, there was a clear story arch of finding out who this fifth horsemen was. I didn’t think that was as clear in the second book. The characters were still fun but overall I thought that their goals throughout the book were a moving target. As a series, that could be intentional, and this second book could just be much more tightly intertwined with the third (we were definitely left on a cliffhanger).
Magic: 3.5/5
The magic continued to be very interesting, especially as some of Angel’s magic forms are tied to the different gendered bodies that she has. Angel is much more comfortable in her female form, and seems to only use the male form for the magic that it has. She’s still struggling with parts of her magic, so I have to guess that once she comes to accept all of her forms as herself, she’ll also be able to further unlock her magic.
Overall: 3.5/5
The second installment continues to show off interesting characters and plenty of romantic relationship dynamics within the Horseman harem. The continued balance between trying to save the world and trying to manage four complex relationships.
