The story is amazing, the one I have enjoyed the most so far.
My one gripe with all the stories in this series is that it drags on a bit too much for my liking and definitely has some slow bits.
I have really enjoyed the bridged kingdom series and like that this book is taking place at the same time as the second one.
The war is still raging and both sides are loosing lives like crazy.
Zarrah has been working as a spy and assign for years and one faithful night she runs into a Maridrinian man who starts to say her to the ways of the war and her people. Once she finds out his identity her whole world is turned upside down. Lots of political conversations, games, schemes, and fights.
The ending was insane can’t wait to see why and how it happens in the next book.

So the first half of this book was amazing. I loved the passion, the torment, the STRUGGLE between them... And then it was just repetitive. Like I was reading page after page of the same conversations from books 1 and 2. While I was SUPER intrigued with this at first because I thought we were going to get a glimpse of something happening that we didn't see the first time, but alas, that was rarely the case. If nothing new is going to be learned from these retellings, we could summarize or just leave them out all together in my opinion. That made this book draggggg and I was over it after a while, until we got back to the meat of the story. Did we really have to re read EVERYTHING word for word?
I didn't love the FMC as much, but I loooooved Keris. I just want to hug that poor man! I thought their romance was brilliant, and I FELT the heartbreak over and over again with these two. I was rooting for them and for what they were striving to achieve. And that character development on both sides?! Magic.
And the politics and war strategies?! I LOVED it! It brought a very high stakes sort of drama and realness to the whole story. Very impressive!
The ending was kind of "meh". After a looooong book like this, I was hoping for something more... BUT now I'm just really scared for the 4th book because I have a feeling I'm going to have my heart ripped out.

Loved this foray back into the Bridge Kingdom world. I didn't mind that it serves as a parallel to the first two books, it helps to remember the overall story. The couple is well developed and you want to root for them. This is for the Romeo and Juliet fans.
