The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout Book Summary

Bow Before Your Queen Or Bleed Before Her…

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book three in her Blood and Ash series.

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…

third time’s the charm (and the first and second). loved the development of confidence in the main character as the series progresses

Chills. I’ve read this series twice now and it hasn’t disappointed even a little. Gave me the chills every time I’ve read it! Love love love

A crown of gilded bones. I would fives this a billion stars it is so good literally my emotions are everywhere after finishing this book, can march come any faster so I can read the 4th ;(

Should have stopped with 2nd Book. This book rambles on and on just repeating the same crap over and over again. I found myself skipping through whole chapters just to get to anything of significance.

Best one so far. Easily the best installment- I’m dying to read the fourth but sad at the same time. LOVE THIS SERIES!!

Dont question it just buy it. This series has a disgusting grip on my life, I tried to space them out so I would finish this one the day the 4th one came out. I have 7 learning disabilities, I work 40+ hour weeks, I went on a family trip, and celebrated mardi gras. I still managed to I read 2 500 page books from one weekend to the next. Read this book.

Loved it. The Crown of Gilded Bones is the third book in the Blood and Ash series and I just loved getting to reenter this amazing world. This book picks up immediately after the second book in the series. Oh my gosh this book was just epic. I was just blown away by everything that was taking place. You get to a moment where you think that this series can’t get any better and boy does this author prove you wrong. I’m just speechless after that ending. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Too long & Wordy. This book had the potential to be a good read but it was too long and everything was exaggerated and wordy. I had to skip/skim through most of the book because of all of the unnecessary content. If shorten to about 300 pages this could be a really good book.

Okay, long and drawn out.Sex scenes not necessary for this story.. Book is very long and has a lot of talking between Cassteel and Poppy. I’ve read the first three books and I will read the fourth book , I am curious about the ending. July 13, 2022 Pepper RoseFreeport New york

New Favorite. I can’t get enough of this series! I’ve been hooked since the first book. Instant classic.

Tolerable. After reading the first two and being moderately intrigued by the story and characters, this book left me somewhat disappointed. The dialogue between poppy and cas was childish and forced at times, I felt myself cringing at unnecessary conversations. This book seemed to be one that was made just to transition for something bigger and more complex. A necessary evil for most series but up until the last 15-10 chapters I was forcing myself to get to the action. The spice✨ was well written and not repetitive which I appreciated. I’m excited to continue with this series and it’s spin-offs as the next book hopefully will have more of a plot. Also what’s up with mentioning poppy’s questions so much…made the dialogue awkward and honestly annoying!! The story itself keeps me coming back and if you can power through this one than it’s worth it to continue.

Boring!. Pacing was a big issue. A lot of the same conversations. Took way to long to get to the plot.

Blood and Ash series. This book series is amazingly crafted full of romance betrayal and everything in between. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to escape into another world.

Absolutely fantastic. Enthralling & obsessive

مراجعة. قراتها

New book pls. The character dialogue is a lil repetitive but the female hero we all deserve plus sex plus war

Uh. I almost put this down halfway in because I was sooooo sick of them having the same annoying flirtatious conversations. Nothing happened. Then, halfway through, things became interesting again.

Solid.. A bit slow in some parts, but I do appreciate the background and lore in this book. Obsessed with the series, I just didn’t fly through this one as fast. Still amazing.

The Queen. Amazing! Could not put it down!

Solid and unexpected. Overall very good, a bit slow though the middle, and the monologues are getting a bit drawn out. Overall the story is pretty solid though, definitely unexpected.

Amazing. This is one of the greatest series I’ve ever read. I am so excited to come back to the characters when the next book comes out.

Don’t add it to your TNBF list. I’ve heard so many people don’t finish this series because of this book, but you just need to push through!

Awestruck!!!. WOW!! I am so in love with this series!! I read them all and immediately reread them! Poppy , Cas, Kieran have stolen my heart!!

All 3 in the series. It has been a while since I’ve actually read a book and the entirety of all the words. But this series not only had me reading all of it but I laughed cried and generally felt emotional lol. Excellent read!

I cannot put how good this book is into words.. Many people told me that, out of the entire saga, this was the least interesting book to read. If you heard this before, don’t trust them. It gives a much needed explanation; one that didn’t happened in the previous two books. If you think you know Poppy, I dare to say you don’t. Prepare for the cliffhanger this book will gift you. I personally cannot wait until 05/22 to read the next one.

Omg!. A wild tanyy tantalizing ride so full of suspense and action. I cannot wait to read the next one. Caution: very addictive

Loving this series.. Thank you! Love it! Can’t wait for the next one.

So good!. Awesome!

It had some good moments. I’m obviously three books deep in this series, so it’s kept me interested this long. But I will say that I found this book to be a lot of dialog and inner workings. There were definitely a lot of bored moments for me where I felt like the main character continued to rehash information that didn’t go anywhere. Other than that I have enjoyed the overall series

a lot. okay first off i love this series but this book in a way felt off, don’t get me wrong some parts were good, the wolven and the bond and the plot twists. however i feel like it was just written badly, in some chapters i felt like so much filler. parts felt off. i’m interested in what occurs after but this book is just something else. i hope the next will surpass this one.

breathtaking. I love this whole series and the way this book starts was written beautifully till the very end. I cannot wait for the upcoming book!!!

Get to the point. I had to give up. I tried. The first two books were good and gave a pleasant mixture of dialogue and action. But this book is just a constant repetition of her questions and repeated history of her bloodline and then hormones. I would read more about the whole thing with Kieran but honestly, I am tired of this wordiness that seems like it’s simply filling words on a page. I appreciate the enthusiasm of their love and respect but what’s the point? Get to it. I am going to try again as ppl said it gets interesting again later but a lot of scrolling past is going to happen.

O. M. G.. HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL MARCH?

Struggling. I’m struggling to get through this book the first two books were amazing but the third book is so repetitive it’s so hard to get through what I say it’s repetitive I mean repetitive !!!!!! The author could’ve done so much more by doing so much less!!

Favorite series. I’ve read hundreds of books and NONE of them come even close to these books. The world building and plot are *chefs kiss* I couldn’t put it down. Twists and turns the whole series and it leaves you CRAVING MORE! I cannot wait for the next book! Perfectly written characters with *gasps* DEVELOPMENT! Loosing my mind I couldn’t recommend this series more to everyone.

Yesssssss!. So delicious 🥰

Wow. What an awesome roller coaster ride of emotion!

Another great one in the FBAA series. Armentrout doesn’t disappoint with the next installment in the From Blood and Ash series. I yet again loved this one. I love the growth from the characters and the depth she added to the world. I think for the most part this book moved a little slower than the last, I still loved it though, and the last 40 pages or so were amazing! Poppy remains probably my favorite female book lead and I want Casteel or Kieran even more now. I know a book is good when the last few pages heading for the cliffhanger almost destroys me emotionally, which this did. The last time I felt like this was after Crush by Tracy Wolff. To say I’m dying for the next book would be an understatement.

the first two books were so much better. i am really struggling to get through this book. it’s all just information building and them being scared to talk to people like his parents.

Had potential but fell flat. I enjoyed the first two books of this series so my expectations for this book were high. Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed. While there were a lot of things I disliked, I think the worst thing had to be the awkward dialogue. Half the conversations had me either rolling my eyes or cringing internally—none of it felt authentic and it could get really repetitive (like WE GET IT Poppy asks a lot of questions, do we have to mention it EVERY time??? It just quickly went from humorous to irritating). I also felt like the smut scenes weren’t fitting into the story and felt very forced which made them hard to even enjoy. This whole book didn’t have a solid plot and it just felt like a jumbled mess of all these different events (and a lot these events should have been really big moments but often felt rushed and underwhelming, but that’s a WHOLE other issue) that got very tiring to read. Especially, when the history started to get complicated and wordy … I ended up dropping the book and left it for months before reluctantly deciding to pick it up again. Fortunately, the last 200-300 pages got really interesting and it left off on a note that made me at least curious to pick up the next book. Hopefully we get more than what this book was giving us :(

I cannot wait…. I read the entire 3 books in a week. I couldn’t put them down. Each one I read faster than the last. I laughed, I cried and I got chills reading as the story unfolded. I have no idea how I will wait for the next.

Amazing. I can’t put this series down!

UNFREAKBELIEVABLE. This series is unreal. THE ENDING THOUGH. I’ve died and gone to literary heaven. Pure genius, I tell you, pure freaking genius.

Less sex, more murder.. The story itself is fun, but there are unnecessary sex scenes and they’re not well written. I’m all for sex scenes when they make sense/add to the story, but at least a third of them are unnecessary, uninspired, and repetitive. Based on the rest of the book, it makes me wonder if the author was “encouraged” by an editor to include these scenes. I started skimming, then skipping, sex scenes entirely and that greatly improved the book for me. Slight spoiler ahead for an example. Example: Poppy is feeling seasick at one point so cas takes her belowdecks and somehow “distracts” her from being seasick with sex. When you’re seasick, the worst place to be is below deck, she’d likely start vomiting. This scene didn’t contribute to the story at all. It also felt poorly researched. One google search would have told her seasickness gets worse when you can’t see the horizon.

Amazing!!!. So freaking good!!

Goosebumps. Not many books have me captivated but his was absolutely riveting and gave me goosebumps. Couldn’t put it down and I can’t wait for the rest to come.

Disappointed. I hate to say how disappointed I was in this book. I truly enjoyed the first in the series, but this one seems to have no plot, the main male character is completely lost from the original and we are now bordering on orgies in the sex scenes which was not the vibe provided in the first book.

Amazing!. I read all three books in two weeks! I can’t wait for the fourth book to come out.

Great Story in the Blood and Ash series. I love this series. I read over 800 pages in 2 days and am anxiously awaiting the next book. Casteel and Poppy are complicated and spectacular characters. All of the characters are well formed and interesting. The descriptions of their kingdoms, while nothing in our world really compares, are so clearly visible and clever. Romance, intimacy, laughter, adventure and action on every page. Well done

Wonderful read!. Loved every line in this book.

Amazing. The whole series is just wow! This book however was an unpredictable roller coaster and I am DYING for the fourth one

Ohmagawd!!. Jennifer!!! That was epic!! I cannot believe I’m just left hanging!! I was not prepared for that ending!! So many !!!!!’s 🤣 how long do I have to wait now?? Love your writing style, love cas and poppy more than words and absolutely love watching her grow and learn who she is ❤️

Wow. Waited 8 months for this release and it didn’t disappoint! Only downside is waiting for the next instalment..

Incredible. It just gets better and better! I don’t know if I can wait for the 4th book!

2/5 stars. Middle part was so boring I lost all interest in the story 😭✋🏽 i wish authors wouldn’t try to stretch their books (most of the time it words and sometimes it doesn’t) and just do a trilogy🤡

4/5 Let’s ignore the middle!. The start and end of this book were incredible and had me gripped as much as the first and second books. But oh my goodness, I felt like so much of the middle could have been edited out. There is a lot talking between different characters that didn’t do anything for the plot, it really dragged and honestly spoilt the book to the point I was ready to just give up and not finish it. To anyone wanting to read this or currently reading, do try and persevere because the last chapters really make up for it. I cannot wait until the next book!

A M A Z I N G. The ending….. i am speechlesssssssssss!

Slowly getting better. It was starting to get repetitive in the first two books, and I was about to call it quits after this one but the ending!! Much more action and drama in the second half so fingers crossed the next book might be a 5*

Crown of Gilded Bones. I have just raced through all 3 books in a week! The anticipation for book 4 is killing me. Really well written, the suspense builds throughout the books with unexpected twists and turns. It is impossible to not fall in love with the main characters and truly feel the ups and downs in each of their relationships. LOVE LOVE LOVE this series

Drag. Middle of book is such a drag. I mean so slow, I had to force myself to pick the book back up. Incoherent, pointless conversation with the same descriptive language used over and over again. Honestly none of it added to the story - just felt like I was going round in circles. Very poor compared to previous writing and the start of the book - not sure where it lost the plot but it definitely did. Editor should have chopped the whole thing out - the ending was however great so push through

Consuming. I devoured the first two books and then had to wait months before the release of Crown of Gilded Bones, but it was truly worth the weight. These characters will stay with you as you read the book and long after. I love that Poppy has found her strength and power and the unbreakable love that she has with Casteel. I expected this book to be the end of the series. When will book 4 be released???

Cannot get enough. I need more !!! I hate that the next book comes out next year, I just binged the first 3 in mere days! I am obsessed.

Got bored in the middle. I might go back and finish it one day but it got bogged down before I was half way through and I just couldn’t keep going... I did like the other books in this series but maybe there’s just too much to get your head around in this one, or maybe I’m not in the mood for it? Too much time spent in details you don’t need.

Loved. This series was my first fantasy book series (thanks to #booktok) and it was amazing!!! Im sad i have to wait now for the next book to come out but i highly recommend. This was probably the slowest out of the other two books and then was a bit rushed at the end of the book. A bit repetitive but still great nonetheless.

Terrible!. Too one dimensional. Tried to finish it… couldn’t

Series goes downhill. I really loved the first two books so much, this went downhill so quickly I’m so deeply disappointed.

In love. I cried, I laughed, and I want to read the next one already

If Beyoncé was a book. If Beyoncé was a book series, this would be it. I don’t know how I’ll ever fill the whole this series will leave me. 100/10

Gods Help Us. I seriously can’t with this series, it’s simply just too much and not enough 😭

Amazing!!. Action-packed and incredible!!! Cannot wait for Book 4 in this series

Poorly crafted. Disappointing after the first two. Really noticed the lack of storytelling prowess. Everything was explained via long conversations between characters and even then the relationship between deities, gods, primal was overly complex and ultra confusing in a messy, rathe than clever way. Last quarter was ok, but has lost something for me since the first. Lacks the feeling of genuine high fantasy given the characters’ use of certain slang terms. Relationships needed to be more multi-dimensional by now. There was no evolution to Poppy and Casteel’s or even Poppy and Kieran’s relationships. Poppy became less believable the more attitude she got. I wanted to see Poppy continue to emerge from the oppression of being the maiden, but I found she did so in a petulant, surly way that seemed immature and made me annoyed with her. It lost its charm in these ways for me.

Can’t wait for the next one. Awesome book couldn’t put it down.

Amazing read!. Wow what an exhilarating read, so many twists and turns. So well written. Strong story and characters absolutely loving this series.

Gilded Bones. This series just gets better.. I cannot put it down!

Book 1&2 captivating. Book 3 seemed rushed. Book 1 & 2 were great ! The storyline was awesome and pulled you in but I have to say book 3 although started and ended great the middle was repetitive. From the bedroom talks of them both saying sorry to each other and offering forgiveness. They were forever having talks. I will read the next instalment.

Great book. I wish she would use her head more, but overall good book.

Love. Just in love this was amazing

Amazing!. This was an amazing book! I just wished the ending was of poppy rescuing Casteel. I love this series! Can’t wait for the next one!

3.5/5. Not my favourite out of the series. A lot of info-dumping, but I guess it was necessary for the story. I did feel like the story dragged on or was a little dull in some parts too. However, I’m excited for the next instalments in the series!

Engaging. This book differs from the others with respect to the information and revelations we get but it was all worth it and well written. We get to see more of our favourite characters and I was simply hooked the entire time and I just cannot wait for the next book!

Loved it!. Love this book! Can’t wait for the next book to come out!

love love love. i cannot begin to say how much i love this series. it is just perfect. i keep trying to find books that make me feel butterflies when i read about poppy and casteel but i cannot.

Best way to end the book!. The ending was amazing!

Disappointed. Disappointed. I really liked the first two books but this third book feels like it’s just adding more and more to the books so JLA can get more books out of this series. The book didn’t really advance the plot any further expect you learn more about poppy and what she is. But it’s left again on a cliff hanger and now it’s going to be another year or so until the next book. It just feels like JLA cares more about making money by making as many books as possible.

Awesome. Good

Epic ending!. A bit slow in the beginning…however, as the story unfolds the many twists and turns make it hard to put the book down! Can’t wait for “The War of Two Queens”!

Never-ending story 🙄. This book was MUCH too long. I was sooo looking forward to reading Book 3, only to be disappointed with yet another unfinished ending 🙄 I needed to skim through some of the boring parts but at least there WERE some good/exciting bits, along with some informative points. PS I will definitely NOT be reading A Shadow in the Ember (Nyktos & Consort), coming out in October...at least not unless I find out how many long-winded books are in their series first! 😜 (For pity’s sake, couldn’t JLA finish Poppy’s story before starting another series?!) 🤦🏻‍♀️

Good. This book was good, but a little too slow for me.

Great series. Can’t wait for the next instalment

So-so. Compared to the previous book, the best part of this one is in the final 200-ish pages. I felt there was a lot of wasted pages repeating the same thing over and over and started to skip ahead in parts to where the story picked up again.

From Blood and Ash Series- June 2021. I am ready to start the third series from Jennifer’s mind blowing series. The amount of imagination she came up with to create exciting complex events, so intertwined into so many lives, plus bringing the love story to a unexpected twist, leads to an outstanding enjoyable paranormal series of three novels. For those who are so critical of Jennifers’s work, obviously don’t have the taste for this type paranormal with the amount of detail she incorporates….should choose elsewhere. I could rave and rave how well done this series is, and what a wonderful talented author Jennifer is and how she manages to come up with the most unexpected ending in all her books. I am never disappointed in any of her novels…which says a lot about the author. Stony Plain, AB, CA- Linda N.
