The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L Armentrout


She's been the victim and the survivor…


Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.


The enemy and the warrior…


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. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.


A lover and heartmate…


But 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. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible—travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. 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.


And now she will become Queen…


REVIEW: I can officially say this series has shot to the coveted spot of my favorite series of all time. First off I fully appreciate the fact that it picked up EXACTLY where book 2 left off. There are so many incredible harrowing moments in this book that left me utterly breathless. Not only are there some heart stopping revelations, but there are twists and turns around every corner. Poppy’s character continues to grow and change in a way that only seems natural to the story. Casteel’s love and devotion for Poppy never ceases to amaze me. The wolves have very quickly turned into some of my favorite characters and we even get to meet someone we’ve ALL been dying to meet since book 1, whether we admit it or not. This book entered territory I was not expecting but could not be any more pleased with where it’s headed. It of course ended on an unimaginable cliff hanger that will leave us all holding our breathes waiting for who knows how long to see what happens next. This book was so good I can only rate it as infinity, that would only be fair.
