Description

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…

    The first two books in series were fun. Beginning to drag. Story still good.
  • Good! Could be better.

    I had to repick this book up twice in order to finish it. Felt like a lot of monologue and sex. Which, is good in moderation, but it felt like a lot. The main story profession is great, but definitely lacks cohesion.

    This book was exceedingly long for no reason. Lots of nothing happened which I’m convinced was only written to meet some sort of word count. Poppy’s lineage is debated throughout the book and it’s drawn out. The conflict between both kingdoms is messily explained. It also seems like some things were added to be plot twists but they come off flat, likely because the reader is already thinking of every possibility since nothing is happening. The idea that Poppy is x but no she’s actually y but really she’s actually z is so completely exhausting. This book could have easily been 400 pages but was pushed to nearly 1200. AND THERES STILL TWO MORE BOOKS IN THE SERIES.
  • Intense and exciting

    Love this author. She takes you on a journey and you can almost see the landscape and people. Great series! I’ve read a book a week which is a lot for me. A great next read after the 4th wing and Iron Flame.

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