4.0

If you liked the first two Blood and Ash books then like me you'll probably have just as much fun reading this one. It is a dramatic rollercoaster of a book from the very start and that is a feeling that doesn't let up throughout the story. The third book starts to unravel the mystery of who Poppy is, what she is, and what there is to come. There's a large amount of world building in this book which I know a lot of people tend to complain about in fantasy but I was really intrigued. The tension and the adventure in this installment is faster paced I found than the first two but it still has that trademark romantic indulgence. 

All in all solid next book in the series and just like the other endings The Crown of Gilded Bones will make you wish you didn't have to wait.
