A Soul of Ash and Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout
3.0
I was REALLY disappointed in this book.
I loved cas and poppy but in this cas POV retelling it was like a book we never asked for.
There were some interesting pieces from Kieran’s life that added to his character development, but it felt very slow until the last maybe 3-5 chapters and then Casteel becomes a cave cat to protect his mate, poppy ascends and the entire thing just takes off into chaos again but in present day.
It felt like they maybe got to a point where they were like okay this is taking too long let’s go hurry up and bam poppy has crazy super powers, casteel can shift, wrap it up with some witty comment about poppy being happy to know she can shape shift.
I might be being too critical but the first half dragged then the last 1/4 was a race to the finish line.
