The ​Crown of Gilded Bones

You have no idea how happy I am to finish this book and series. Turns out the series was extended for 3 more books and a prequel(?). Thank you, I'll pass.

Overall, you can read only the first book in the series and stop there. From Blood and Ash was mildly interesting and actually had a plot. The second and the third books are plain definitions of what is a filler book. It had the same joke being repeated over and over again, the same dialogues, the same scenes with the blandest characters ever. And then there was some action in the last 5%, that looked as if the author finally remembered that the story has to have some action. Overall, I've read much better-written fanfiction than this series.

I stayed up from 00:01-5:56 to read this ASAP after being tortured to wait after reading the first two... And now I shall return to being TORTURED once more. JLA weaves magnificent tales. Never have I found myself so enrapt in the world and characters of each page. Mastery and I am so glad I stumbled across it when I did. The third book does not disappoint. All those fan theories? Either squished like a bug, biting and gnawing with suspicion or leaving me outright crowing in the dead of the night with the righteousness or dismay I have been left with. And now... with that for an ending? I wait...

This was not my favorite book in the series.  It felt like a filler book to get to the next book in the series.  The characters spent a lot of time asking what others thought and it was too much.  Unpopular opinion alert there were just too many sex scenes that it really took away from the plot.  I wanted more Kiernan then we got.  I was hurt that there wasn't more Poppy and Veneta friendship.  I am signing up for the Willa Colyns book club.  The story was good and I am interested in reading the next book.
