Though I do think Tim did a fantastic job with his narration too! I’ve listened to a few of his narrations before and have been a happy listener :) Yes, it is a voice change in the fourth book in… but so is having Cas’ POV… and being a person who loves multiple POVs, I thought it turned out great! On another hater note~ I’ve loved this book series very much and have listened to them multiple times… that being said, anyone who is surprised and upset at what happens in chapter 44… OMGoodness, GET OVER IT! There were plenty of hints and foreshadowing since book 1 people. Yes, Stina spoiled us with an amazing Cas, and you still get her Cas with Poppy’s POV. I’ve noticed so many reviews complaining about Cas’ POV narration. I'll keep ACOTAR but will never read another book by this author. I know most love this series but I hated it. Narrator pronounced it 3 different ways and NONE were right. The author tried to wax poetic through the joining and it came off as campy and.well not very sexy. The use of modern day slang was eye rolling at best. 'I'd do anything and suffer at all costs for him.' No! 'I'd do anything and suffer at all costs for HER!.' 5. The painful inner monologs of Cass and Poppy were so childish. As were many other things meant to be humorous. We all KNOW Kieran thinks Poppy asks too many questions. The painfully redundant sexual jokes and inuendos were grating by the end. Rather a child who got lucky over and over again. There was absolutely no growth in Poppy over these books. I struggled with the previous books in this series but muddled through to get to the end. To end what the Blood Queen has begun, Poppy might have to become what she has been prophesied to be - what she fears the most.Īs the Harbinger of Death and Destruction. Ancient primal powers have already stirred, revealing the horror of what began eons ago. Together, Poppy and Casteel must embrace traditions old and new to safeguard those they hold dear - to protect those who cannot defend themselves.

Not if she has any hope of building a future where both kingdoms can reside in peace. With the strength of the Primal of Life’s guards behind her, and the support of the wolven, Poppy must convince the Atlantian generals to make war her way - because there can be no retreat this time. Nothing will stop Poppy from freeing her King and destroying everything the Blood Crown stands for. The magnitude of what the Blood Queen has done is almost unthinkable. Armentrout comes book four in her Blood and Ash series.Ĭasteel Da’Neer knows all too well that very few are as cunning or vicious as the Blood Queen, but no one, not even him, could’ve prepared for the staggering revelations.
