The Primal of Blood and Bone: A Blood and Ash Novel

In the shadows and flames, Primals will fall…
And from the blood and ash, new gods will rise.
What was dreamt.
Poppy was never meant to awaken, and the consequences are devastating and far-reaching, stirring ancient powers from their slumber and transforming Casteel and Kieran in ways even the Fates couldn’t have foreseen. But what that means is the least of their concerns. For now.
What was foreseen.
The Blood Crown has fallen, but what has risen is a far greater danger than they’ve ever faced. From flesh and fire, the Great Conspirator has returned to the mortal realm, and he wants only one thing. They must stop the true Primal of Death before he regains his strength, and it won’t be easy. Even weakened, his influence is undeniable. His power, unthinkable.
Has come to be.
While the future of the realms rests upon them, they won’t stand alone. The gods have awakened—each harboring their own blood-soaked secrets. But they must navigate an unbalanced realm, where every choice—past and present—has the potential to not only undo everything they’ve fought for but also destroy the very bonds that have Joined them together.
For the Harbinger and the Bringer of Death and Destruction has risen.
And from the blood and ash, new gods will rise.

I’m sad to only give this 3 stars, as I utterly loved earlier books in the series. But this one was just too long and too convoluted in my opinion. I pushed myself to keep going, but usually I can read 750 pages in 2 days and this took me 8 days - mainly because I just didn’t care enough about what was happening (or more accurately not really happening). I did like the ending and am hopeful that the final book will return to feeling like the series I fell in love with years ago.
Also, I hope JLA realizes that she did Kieran dirty in this one by relegating him to the sidelines for the most part…which honestly just is baffling after having the Joining.
Better than the last one. So much anger and tension and not always the good kind ahhhhh! And that ending?!? OK let's see what the next book holds.
