A review by mckellstar
The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
5/5
This book took me for a ride! The beginning was SO good - so many shocking reveals, I kept gasping out loud and worrying my husband. Then, the middle section was very heavy on the world-building. It took me much longer to get through this book than I thought it would, but I understand that the info was necessary in order to make the ending happen. And the ending? WOW. I was blown away!
This book reminded me a lot of the previous book, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire, in the way the overall arc of the story worked: shocking revelations, world-building, steam, world-building, DRAMATIC FINISH. (The steamy scenes were few and far between, but when it was time for some steam, Jennifer did not disappoint! CHAPTER 16?!!?) And all that time spent sifting through the info being dumped on us was well worth it in the end, because the ending was one of *the most* epic endings of a book I've ever read.
I can't wait for the next book (and for the spin-off prequel series to come out in October)!
