Status Updates From The Crown of Gilded Bones (...

Poppy meets Kirean's momma. She was due in a month. Lil girl. Awe. What happens in the next month? All the things? lol
Ends w her saying that she is sorry that Poppy met her in laws in that way.
What an underwhelming way to break lmao.
I gotta bounce to Hoopla cos everything sucks! Yay!

Hi Nesta! End ad.

They went to a museum and Poppy brought up seeing the cat in the cage. They thought the kitties were extinct. Ash was painted w his boys as kitties. No face for Ash. Theon was assigned as Ash's son lol they dunno the names or genders of the boys. And one of them was Malec's parent. Lmao. They knew nothing!

Poppy danced w Delano. :(
Then Kirean. Poppy told Delano that he could call her Poppy.
Poppy a perv.

Poppy used her life power for the first time on a lil girl who died in a carriage accident.
Gastech was a healer. I feel like Sera doesn't have to think good thoughts when she healed. Unsure tho.
Cas says goddess. Closer! To the ppl she will be.

How u get to Elysium. Under the mountain. Through tunnels. The boys played there but never made it.

Jasper explains that ppl know where Elysium is. They lie beyond Ash's mountains. News to the kids. To make the unseen they need that soil. Poppy should be able to get there safely.
And we learn that Willa is real. Cas choked lol.
Kirean explains about the diary lol Jasper says that Willa is a changeling who is almost 200,000 yrs old. ( I think) Oldest Alt. The council came together when Malik was taken. Jasper says

Explain the realms. that Ash is what Jansen said. Primal or God of life and death. Nope. wrong. Not Life. Primal of endings etc ( tho was that transfered to Theon?) not common man primal. Dunno blessed and Asher. She was called blessed too. Thought he lied. Nope! Jasper revealed Sera existed. Well, Consort. They all knew of her, just nameless lady who mothered his kids. They think the Ascended erased her. Nope!

Wouldn't have sent Malik. They wanted her alive until. Kirean pointed out that they may not have been her birth parents. Ires as Leo was a merchant? K. Still confused as to how Ally didn't realize who Leo was. Did he change his face? Hm. Or did he think that he was Malik? Or is that a clue as to Ires? They are related to Malik.
Kirean and Jasper come in w a big ol book. About the deities? Sketch of germs.

First time she was called a harbinger of death and destruction. Well ...she does bring Cas w her lol ( and Kolis?) some dude said it. The creatures smell like stale lilacs- so death. Can't remember lol ah, germ. Gotcha. The unseen. Val recognized them. Cas too- knew of.
Poppy speculated that maybe Ally didn't send the Craven; the mysterious man could have. The Ascended could have known her. So close! Izzy definitely

Cas thinks El loved Malec and likewise. Then he found his heartmate, Izzy. Poppy felt sad for them. Did Ash make the wolven or did Sera? Making life is her thing after all. They know that Ash can shift into a white wolf.
Wolven were older then Alt.
Poppy feels Kirean's mark? He feels like cedar ( a tree?! lol) she felt Delano. Spring. He can't hear her thoughts. He is happy ; too many questions lol.

Poppy heard Delano in her dream. Told her to wake up. Later, hears Kirean answer her. Val is not okay w what happened but what can ya do? Will only talk when El arrives. They let Ally think P was dead. Surprise!
Ewwwww the wolven ate Ally! Gross!

They go home. Or through a village anyway. She finds out that she is their queen. They all bow to Poppy.

Way too much talking about the world and little "doing" relevant plot action in this book. I will holdout because I am waiting for answers.

OK this book has a lot of emotional conversations and longing looks and not much plot to speak of.

Poppy sees Sera. Green eyes fractured w silver. She tells Poppy to call Sera name when. We dunno that yet. We didn't hear what she says. Then Popoy woke up. She had been dreaming of that night. Cas had to feed from Niall. Poppy didn't Ascend. Green eyes, notam in tact. Poppy is special.
Ilu. Cas.
Hugs Kirean.
They go over everything. Explain the dieties. How they lived too long, they should have slept.

Shook too.
Cas told her ilu.

They all ( plus Val) come to save her. Yay! She told Kirean she was related to Malec. So not dad then. She told Kirean that she loves Cas. He's like, duh. Cas found the others. Very determined hubby. She got Jasper but she got got. He has to Ascend her. The weather is pissed about Poppy near death. Val screams no, wolven howl. Cas cried :(
Awe her boys were ready to Ascend and save her. Val was against it. The groun

He was Ascended tho. They knew who she was. Well duh! She ya momma. Ally is a traitor. Worked w them. He called them a brotherhood. Cas' parents dunno, but they can be taking out too. He justified his actions as protecting Alt. Delulu.
Did El know Ires? Sera and Ash? Sera went to sleep after they buried Malec. Hm. Could they have a reunion?
Sounds like Lidia.

Got captured. He wouldn't have known that as he left. Ally couldn't shift anymore. Poppy can't be killed. War begins, martyr. He will give her back. What was Cas up to? Healing and then- ?
She was in the Skotos mountains. Deep. He had help. He killed Guardians as they aren't real. Would have taken her out. Duchess wasn't wrong- Izzy was thrilled w the marriage. He thinks Ian is one too? Ires'son? Well maybe?

They wanted to flee, they knew the truth re her and the Ascended. Wouldn't he have recognized Ires? Cora was a handmaidian for Izzy. And Cas was familar w the hands. She may have dealt w Malik? Cas was gone by then. He knows it was Malik killed her mommy and daddy. Only, not daddy. Oh. He knew but didn't know. He was gonna help but then he found out about Poppy. Ally let it in. Malik? Craven? So, Cora dies and Ires

Guess they don't know who her Malec momma was. He could have been her dad. She has cousins from him and other women. She is the culling. They killed them? And the prophecy comes into play. Have we gotten there? The fear of the west etc. She is what they feared. Well kinda. He saw Death in her eyes that first time. Why never Life? He didn't pin her right off as an adult. He admits to being there. He connects the dots

Ashvis Life and Death Ally casually says. No he isn't. If Malec was Death then was Ires Life? We NEED those books! Too much hearsay and misinformation. What really happened? He broke minds and became Death. Ally thinks Poppy has to die instead of becoming like uncle. She is Ash's granddaughter and has Malec blood. Nope. Ires. They really didn't see that coming. He swore to protect Alt. Y he broke bond w Malec.
