The Primal of Blood and Bone

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Our rating

Spice 4/5 Darkness 4/5

Spice: high. Darkness: very dark.

Poppy and Casteel take the fight to Isbeth while the Primals start moving pieces of their own. Long, lore-heavy and clearly building toward an endgame, so expect threads left hanging.
