Book Review of Rage (Horsemen of the Apocalypse, No 2)

Rage  (Horsemen of the Apocalypse, No 2)

This second book in the Horsemen of the Apocalypse series focuses in on self-injury, which is represented by the War Horseman of the Apocalypse. Although Kessler is recovered from an eating disorder, she has not ever personally self-injured. Thus I was skeptical that this book would live up to the first one. Well, it is clear that Kessler is an empathetic woman who knows how to do her research. She presents an intimate knowledge of self-injury from the behavior to the emotional background for it. The fantasy element helps keep the book from becoming overly-emotional or triggering, and the climax is truly inspiring. I highly recommend it.
