If you haven't even started the Blood & Ash series yet: DEFINITELY DO IT. If you're on the fence about picking this one up: do it. The Crown of Gilded Bones is not only the best book in this series so far, but also one of the best books Jennifer L. I could probably go on much longer about this book and how obsessed I am with it and how much it hurt me in all the best ways. And I am in dire need of book 4 now!!!!!! I'm not going to say anything in particular because I don't want to spoil, but in hindsight I should have seen it coming. His bond with both Cas and Poppy-the trust and respect between all of them-is *chef's kiss*. She needs to be able to protect herself? He's all in to fight along side her as she does. If she feels a certain way, he's at her side for whatever she needs. If she speaks up about something, he backs up her word. And in that vein, I ADORE the way Cas supports Poppy in all ways. And she's not afraid to speak up when she has something to say. I was such a fan of the all-around character growth. They have their sweet moments, they have their steamy moments, they have their badass moments.they're everything and I love them. Poppy and Cas are such a strong couple-literally the power couple of my dreams.

The romance is, of course, extraordinary. It picks up right where book 2 left off and takes off running.

It doesn't take a few chapters to draw you in. From the very beginning, this book is interesting.

So I'll do what tends to help me in these situations and resort to bullet points: But now I've read it and it was amazing and I don't know how to put it into words. I loved From Blood & Ash, I loved A Kingdom of Flesh & Fire even more, and The Crown of Gilded Bones was one of my most anticipated books of 2021. Obviously I was excited when this book landed on my Kindle for review. So I'm sitting here, trying to figure out how to start this review and I just don't have words.
