Welcome to Litsy!

Sequel to The Bridge Kingdom. I loved the way this takes place in different settings. I enjoyed the side characters- thought this was fast paced and total escapism.

An equally good second in series, this one saw more action (including a daring rescue), more romantic angst and more sibling interactions for Lara and her half sisters and brother. While some of Lara‘s derring-do was a bit over-the-top, that‘s OK because I loved her fierceness and determination to persevere. Looking forward to getting to the third book. 5/5⭐️

I‘m not quite sure how to rate this one. It just wasn‘t as good as the first one. I didn‘t care as much for the characters, and even though the story is action-packed, I felt bored in some parts. I also wished for more depth in the internal conflicts of the characters. I knew how they felt, but I often couldn‘t FEEL it myself. Still, it‘s not a bad book. I enjoyed the politics and most battles. I just wish there was more to the book to enjoy.

⭐️4.2
Such a shocking ending, was waiting for a bit more drama. although the rest of the book kept up its pace with drama, action & self-reflection on the choices of some characters.

Golly gee gosh darn it. Now I have to wait FOREVER (or May 24th, whichever comes first) for the next book! 😩😩😩😩

I love every aspect of this book! Badass woman warriors, complicated rescuing schemes, near-death adventures, and so much more! I love the emotional struggles within both Lara and Aren, as well as their complicating feelings for each other. The length they were willing to sacrifice for each other, even knowing they couldn't be together, was even more romantic to me than the previous book! I cried at the ending 😭

This book was so good I finished it in a day!
I thought the first one (The Bridge Kingdom) was good but holy moly! If you like fast paced, action packed but still want romance (as much as you can have during a war) and amazinggggg character development (for Lara IMO) then you NEED to read this book!

Book #47: I liked this one more than the first. There was much more fast paced action that kept me interested and we got to meet some characters that we had only heard briefly about previously. I still didn‘t care for the politics aspect. I‘ll be interested to read Kerris & Zarrah‘s story.

Finished this last night! It‘s book 2 in the Bridge Kingdom series. I loved both of these and am surprised at how underrated they are! What‘s a book you love that‘s underrated?

I wasn't sure how the author was going to pull off the ending after how the 1st book ended but it was exactly how I was hoping it would end. This one was non-stop action and kept my anxiety level high. #fantasy #kindle

Consistent with the first book in terms of tone, action, and engagement. I liked the setting of this book a little better- I‘m always a sucker for the desert- fantasy. I solid duology.
