schwev625 's review for:
The Crown of Gilded Bones
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I was pretty engaged in the first 2 books of this series and they seemed quick reads. This one...I really struggled to finish it. I don't mind sex scenes, but there are SOOOO many in this book that I started to find them distracting and skipped a lot of them. They didn't add to the plot. They didn't add to the character development. They didn't seem all that different from the ones before. They didn't seem to have a point anymore.
On top of that, a lot of character interactions seemed to get repetitive in a lot of ways. How many times must we be told that she asks a lot of questions? Or how many different titles she has? Or how many different bloodlines she might or might not have? Or how she can bring her eather to help just about anyone in any situation?
Is she just an overpowered 19 yr old among a bunch of really, really old characters, who doesn't have to do much to earn any level of respect or loyalty, and just gets more powerful for no reason and no plot needed? After awhile, I felt like the author just kept adding abilities to Poppy that didn't add to her character development and instead took away any need for any kind of a team of people or loyalists or even friends around her.
This book really disappointed me, and although I do want to know what happens next, IDK if I can force myself to finish another book if it's like this one.
