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 was sitting on this one for quite a while so let me just make this easier for you... If you love Celaena, Aelin or any other strong minded female assasin girlie

that turns her life around and completely reevaluates everything because she's been lied to her whole life,

THIS IS YOUR SHIT. Lara is strong, sassy, witty beyond reason and all-around a tortured little soul 😇 You just gotta love her. There's a cute cat and a cute ass enemies to lovers love trope + the friendships/relationships formed are to die for! This book gives you a lot of surprises if you don't search things or read ahead (had to stop myself a couple times cause it was sooo good I needed to know more sooner XD). It's fast paced and the story just pulls you in. I know it's relative to give bonus points for but the world is absolutely gorgeous (if your brains work the fantasy part just like mine). There's 3 books rn, nothing too long... 4th one comes out 10.2033. READ, ENJOY!

2.5

I was hoping for more spice earlier on. This was more about adventurous sea fare. sex came around 82%.

 I docked a whole star because the decision to not admit about the inked paper was a plot device. I lost faith in the author for creating a more textured plot. 

I’ll continue with book two to resolve the cliffhanger ending. But I doubt this will be as spiced as like like

Amazing book, a fast read and interesting world building. The only reason I give it 4.75 instead of 5 is the ending on a cliffhanger.

I wasn't drawn in by the characters or story. I put it down and I didn't want to pick it back up again
