Description

Only his memories can save her…
A great primal power has risen. The Queen of Flesh and Fire has become the Primal of Blood and Bone—the true Primal of Life and Death. And the battle Casteel, Poppy, and their allies have been fighting has only just begun. Gods are awakening across Iliseeum and the mortal realm, readying for the war to come.

But when Poppy falls into stasis, Cas faces the very real possibility that the dire, unexpected consequences of what she is becoming could take her away from him. Cas is given some advice, though—something he plans to cling to as he waits to see her beautiful eyes open once more: Talk to her.

And so, he does. He reminds Poppy how their journey began, revealing things about himself that only Kieran knows in the process. But it’s anybody’s guess what she’ll wake to or exactly how much of the realm and Cas will have changed when she does.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout revisits Poppy and Casteel’s epic love story in the next installment of the Blood and Ash series. But this time, Hawke gets to tell the tale.

  • Didn’t I already read this?

    Come on. I’m reading pages and pages of dialogue that I read in book 1. What a lazy money grab.
  • Wasn’t great

    It was cool seeing things from Casteel’s POV but having to re-read basically the entire first book? It was boring and came off as lazy. Didn’t seem like they knew where they wanted the story to go so they took a cop-out and just re-told the first book instead of taking more time and coming out with a great 5th book that told something we haven’t already heard.
  • Great!

    The book is amazing. I can’t wait for the next book! I’ll be reading the prequel series of this just to get more of an understanding. But I totally recommend this series to anyone who loves ACOTAR. 10/10.
  • A new sexy perspective

    It’s rare to read erotic fiction from the male point of view and I loved it. Sure the storyline was one you’ll know, but Cas’s telling is HOT. I enjoyed this book immensely just for the ending alone. When is the next, post-compendium installment?!
  • Not worth the read

    Don’t get me wrong I love this series but it’s literally book one in Cas’s perspective and nothing new. If you buy it just read the first chapter and the last.
  • I liked it but it was so uninteresting

    Having read the other book from poppy’s perspective and no cas def was slightly annoying but I was Bree rereading what had already happened just from his perspective and I was so excited for what was going to happen after the war and some more relationship stuff between the two after their reunion .

    Felt like I was reading Book 1 all over again. I kept hoping for more and thought certainly this will wrap up soon and the story will continue, but no, it just left me disappointed.

    I loved this book. I have wanted to know what Cas was thinking when he was falling for Poppy and I loved reading about it. I saw reviews stating they were disappointed that this was a retelling from Cas’ point of view, but the author has always made it clear that it would be just that before the book was ever released. I am so excited for the next books and to learn what will happen next.
  • What a waste of time

    I gotta give it to the author... this was a smart money grab! Literally the same exact book as the first, just adding a few lines to indicate it's from Casteel's perspective. Remember back in the day and shows would have a flashback episode that would come in and out of past and present?? Yea, well, this was that... nothing vital or interesting is really discovered. Nothing that can't just be added to the next book. Whatever. I feel a little salty and betrayed by the author for pulling this . She better make it up to me by making the throuple thing happen in the next book!
