Summary
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.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

I like the narrators (full cast); however, the book is a retelling of the prior story with only minor changes in viewpoint. The dialogue is a near carbon copy of earlier books and stories were presented in 3rd person in a weird way. The topic of the book was Cas caring for Poppy in stasis and telling her stories about herself so she wouldn’t forget who she was. Instead of addressing Poppy directly with pronouns such as “you” or “us,” Cas talks about Poppy abstractly in the 3rd person as “she,” “maiden,” etc…. How were Cas’s stories supposed to help Poppy remember herself when Cas didn’t directly address her? If a husband was telling a wife stories about herself, wouldn’t the husband address the wife as “you” rather than “she”? The book could be so much better with strong editing, especially if it actually presented something new.

I agree with the other commenter. The retelling in Cass’ view was unnecessary. Only a FEW things were added in this book verses Poppy’s narration. I actually had to poause my book at one point and check to see if I was relistening to the the other book! The cast was amazing, as usual.
