The ​Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout

2.0

The first 2 books in this series were awesome. I knew that it had become my new favorite series....until it wasn't. I don't even know what to say about The Crown of Gilded Bones. Did JLA even write it? What the hell happened? I can't think of one character I actually enjoyed. I loved Poppy and Cas's characters in the first 2 books. I hated them both in this one. Poppy was bipolar - flipping between timid and naïve to egotistical and all-knowing. Cas is a love-sick sap who puts the girl he just met 6 months ago above everyone he's always known. Plus his ability to be turned on at the most inappropriate times is ridiculous. And why does he touch her so much?!?! It's creepy! I'm also tired of the rehashed jokes about "the book," Poppy's questions and her propensity for stabbing. My eyes rolled so much during this book. I found myself eventually just skimming and praying for the end. The last 15% or so was MUCH BETTER and actually worth reading. Unfortunately there was about 400 pages that could have been left out. I've heard this is supposed to be a 6 book series and I can't fathom what she is going to do for 3 more books. I may not even care to find out.
