This isn’t to say there isn’t any, that would be unrealistic, but what drama there is she wraps up in a timely fashion. One of the lovely things about Horde, and really the Razorland trilogy, is how little time Ann Aguirre wastes on pointless drama.

The way she calls everything exactly how she (sensibly) sees it is an incredibly welcome breath of fresh air. She never lets other people influence how she feels about anything. She’s not perfect, she fails from time to time, but she never stays down for long before she’s up and trying a different approach. She is the definition of never gives up, whether it’s a fight or a personal problem. (To hell with fantasy football, can we make fantasy apocalypse teams a thing?) She is the most kickass of the kickass females and my number one draft pick for my zombiepocalypse team. It has all of the best bits of the previous Razorland books (action, danger that feels real, character growth and subtle, heartwarming feels) minus the self-righteous assholes running around saying the monsters will eat you if girls wear pants.ĭeuce continues to be, hands down, one of my favorite YA Heroines. (As I am the kind of person that goes out of her way to avoid that sort of activity, I wouldn’t know firsthand but I’ve read about it.) Your adrenaline’s up and your blood is pumping, you’re in that magic zone where everything’s a rush and you haven’t started to feel the fatigue. I imagine Horde feels similar to a satisfying run. If I had to sum up my feelings in a gif, it would be this: To any authors trying to figure out how to end their series, I advise you to talk to Ann Aguirre because that lady knows what she’s doing. This time, Deuce carries the banner for the survival of all humanity. This time, however, more than the fate of a single enclave or outpost hangs in the balance. There hasn't been a war like this in centuries, and humans have forgotten how to stand and fight. Freaks are everywhere, attacking settlements, setting up scouts, perimeters, and patrols. With her knives in hand and her companions at her side, she will not falter, whether fighting for her life or Fade's love.Īhead, the battle of a lifetime awaits. She might not be a Huntress anymore, but she doesn't run. But the odds have been stacked against Deuce from the moment she was born. When Deuce, Fade, Stalker and Tegan set out, the odds are against them. Salvation is surrounded, monsters at the gates, and this time, they're not going away. The epic conclusion to the USA Today bestselling trilogy.
