After I read "Hunger", I was so impressed by the authors writing style and creativity that I had to go ahead and read "Rage", even though it isn't set to be released until April 2011. The level of detail in regards to Missy's character is shocking and yet attractive, given the rage she hides within herself. This was a tough read for so many reasons. One, I couldn't wrap my head around the cutting and secondly, how could her parents not know. The plot moved forward at a great pace with more details on Pestilence this time. Missy was harder to relate to than Lisabeth in the previous book.
Missy is a very angry young women who is faced with becoming War. She seems to live a normal life but so much turmoil is held within and cutting is her release from the pain. Her character left me with an OMG feeling throughout the story. At times you want to hug her and say all will be well and at other times, slap her and say grow up, sister. She was very difficult to connect with but played an attractive role as War. The madness within her brings forth a side of her that is almost pure evil, seeming to link her to War even more as you turn each page.
Death the pale rider is absolutely fascinating. I know that sounds crazy beyond belief, but it's true. he sings, plays the guitar, and seems to be the voice of reason. Would you listen to Death? Is it wise to trust him? For whatever reason, each horseman follows suit and trusts him completely. I am so intrigued by this character that I want to read more on him.
Even though Death is leader of the pack, I am drawn also to Pestilence. No, not that way. The idea of carrying all the diseases of the world is totally nasty! In "Rage", he plays a larger role and, even though he is insane and insanely nasty, his character is appealing. Pestilence has a quality that leaves you wanting to know more. He has a history...he gave up his position once.
The ending was not what I expected and that's all I will say about that. Rage is an enjoyable, very dark read. The cutting was intense and emotional, to say the least. Rage will grip you tight and have you reading into the night. Reality can be more horrific than any horror flick. I highly recommend this book as well, as Hunger, to anyone. Well worth your time; it will change how you think.
