Very fun, not too serious! Reads like Wattpad, very quick and engaging to get through with a high-action plot. What let it down was the complete lack of world-building. I could not picture that bridge (yes, what the book is named after) for love nor money! 

Don't waste your time on the sequel though, it's a mess.

I really liked it! I love betrayal, badass fmc and spies/missions so this hit the spot! Super easy to fly through and made me INVESTED esp the start 😍 - some things I wasn’t the biggest fan of like Aren sometimes but I liked Lara

The character writing(e.g. relationships, emotions: I wanted to see and feel rage) was a little bit lacking but the plot did capture me and by that I mean the last 11 pages convinced me to continue reading the series while during the former ~300 I was constantly contemplating to dnf.
(the only emotion I did feel was frustration, but if the frustrating part did not happen this would not be a series but a single standalone book)

This is one of my favourite fantasy books and I never understand why it’s not more popular. It’s not perfect but it really draws you in, it’s a really interesting world and the dynamics and enemies to lovers between Lara and Aren are so good. The ending although we saw it coming was still heartbreaking.
