A review by akozlowski
The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout

2.0

this book felt like being held hostage and not in a good way. i am usually able to get through a “long” book in a couple of days but for some reason, i was fighting for my life. AND I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY.

the plot only got good towards the last hundred pages or so. the length was too much and i felt like half of it was filler. this could have been 300 pages. the repetition in this one also really got to me. “YoU HaVE a QuEStiOn? ShOcKer!” like pleaseeeeee let her live. i had 20000 questions most of the time so poppy’s five questions were FINE. also if i heard about willa colyns’ book one more time, i would have thrown my kindle against a wall.

as much as i love casteel for poppy, i am lowkey glad he has been taken as a prisoner. the sex and constant horniness was getting on my nerves. i looooveee a good smutty book, but it was not doing it for me in this one.

now i have to read the next one considering it’s the final one (hopefully). it’s an actual hostage situation. praying this was a “third book hiccup” because i did enjoy the second book. 2.5 stars.
