Is that what just happened… did that just happen? WHAT JUST HAPPENED.” It’s the best and THE WORST, especially when you have to wait for the next book! 😂 Personally, I could NOT tell what Cas was doing and was totally, totally freaking, freaking out. So we leave off at the end of A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire with this REALLY HUGE and INTENSE showdown, plot twist, cliffhanger in true JLA fashion where you think you know what’s going on, but in the next breathe you’re like, “Wait…what. If you find even the smallest of details to be spoiler-y sometimes (like I do) do not continue reading. I dive into that a little bit more later! But read on for a spoiler-free recap and review of The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. 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.SO HOLY CRAP THE TIME HAS COME! We’ve all been anxiously awaiting the release of The Crown of Gilded Bones and it’s here!!! I was lucky enough to have received an advanced copy and promotional box through Social Butterfly PR, the company that does most, if not all of, Jennifer’s / Blue Box Press’s PR work (THANK YOU TO ALL!). 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.
