We get to meet the different citizens that make up this kingdom, learn more about the lore of the gods and what happened while they were still awake. Atlantia has so much to offer and we’re finally HERE (after two super long books but whatever). Clearly that doesn’t mean anything like she was taught to think it represented, but it seems Atlantis’s enemies may know that she’s special in some way too. She’s got that *special* main character thing going for her since Day One when she was simply called the Maiden. We finally ( finally!) get to know more details about who or what Poppy is. The story starts off where the cliffhanger ending left us. Maybe being a glutton for punishment isn’t so bad? Sometimes? And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people-and each other.Īfter the absolute bore-fest that was book 2, I’m actually happy to say book 3, The Crown of Gilded Bones, did better at holding my attention. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible-travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.īut the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.
She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel.
