It was one thing after another and omfg.īut I forced myself not to inhale it. Seriously, the start of this book is intense. Reading it again was just as good and then so much happens. I’d already read the first chapter when Jen previously made it available and that shook me. In fact, I sat on it for a few weeks, lowkey equally terrified and excited to start it. Somehow, I convinced myself to not blow through this book in one sitting. I keep staring off into space, replaying the ending in my head. It’s been like 2 hours since I finished it, and I’m honestly still reeling. I went from lying down to sitting up because of the electricity, dread and “ omfg this is happening” that was coursing through me.
I don’t think I breathed while reading the last couple pages. Then there was that scene, my heart stopped. Then there was all the soft moments and political maneuvering. The first 30% of this book almost killed me. Needless to say, it was good.įrom the beginning, it felt like Jen said, “hold my drink and watch this.” But to give a quick comparison – this had the court politics of ACOWAR and the soft, vulnerable, character driven moments of ACOMAF. You’re going to have to bear with me, because I’m sure I can accurately put into words what this book did to me. Thank you to Jen for the advanced copy for review – I’m thrilled to be a part of your review team! Now that I’ve finished this book, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do with myself. 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. 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.
