omfg !!! creo que desde el inicio tuve el presentimiento de que iba a disfrutar mucho este libro porque, seamos sinceros, ¿quién no se iba ya a enganchar con semejante primer capítulo? desde ese primer momento queda reflejada lo increíble de la pluma de esta autora: personajes increíbles, una trama super atrapante y un worldbuilding sin grietas.      

es cierto que no se centra taaanto en el romance, pero el desarrollo y el avance de la relación entre los personajes es un punto tan fundamental como lo son la política y los conflictos que abundan en la historia; así que la emoción y la intriga por saber lo que va a pasar nunca faltan. 

los últimos capítulos son para un ataque al corazón y ese final, DIOS, me lo veía venir pero nada me preparó para todo lo que me hizo sentir; muy épico todo.

The Bridge Kingdom is a fun read. The characters are not deep but they are relatable. The plot is nothing new but still an excellent story. It was not nearly as spicy as some people led me to believe.

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.

I was really looking forward to reading this series for quite some time, and it didn’t disappoint. Although the plot is relatively predictable, the world was interesting and the characters were believable.
Although I would have preferred a little more romantic build up/sexual tension - lacking of actual sex didn’t bother me at all but I live for tension. 
If you haven’t got the sequel readily available before you start reading, I really recommend purchasing both!!
I didn’t particularly enjoy the ending, after Aren learnt of all Lara’s lies, saw her development and trusted her regardless; I really liked his maturity. However, when he finds out about the letter that Lara couldn’t destroy in time, all of his affection for her vanishes and he decides not to believe her? Sounded like a random decision for the theme of the second book to be fair.
