A very satisfying arc for the world building. The devil's island is very different from things that came before. And the relationship angst and conclusion is very satisfying.

4.5

Such a good story, and definitely a strong sequel to “The Inadequate Heir”.  Plus, we get to see more of Aren and Laura from “The Bridge Kingdom” and “The Traitor Queen.” Fans of both epic fantasy and romantasy will love this story (although it is quite long, so readers should prepare themselves for that. I wouldn’t call the pace fast, but it does move quick enough that things don’t drag but slow enough so you have time to really grasp what’s happening).

Only giving this a 4.5⭐️ because I did feel like there were some minor plot holes, but I also think the author may have left those intentionally so she has launching points for future books in this series ( 🤞 ).

4.0

I’d love to give this book 5 stars, but I don’t know if it was because the book was longer than the previous ones or if it was the story or if it was just my anxiety, I’ve thought the development of the story pretty slow and I got into a reading slowdown from 20% up until 80%. Despite that, the story is great, the ending was divine. Don’t know if I’ll read the next book (not an Ahnna’s fan), but I’m definitely looking for other Danielle’s books.

The political intrigue is top tier. So much of it but it all makes sense and is well-written. The ending was perfect. And the pacing kept up well.

A great continuation to the second duology and overall continuation of the Bridge Kingdom series. Both series really make you think about what is right or wrong based on characters choices and motives.

The Details:
Narrated by Summer Morton and Michael Pauley
Unabridged

I loved having Keris, Zarrah, Lara and Aren on the page together! 

This was fantastic. I took longer listening to this one than the previous 3 books because I was even more hooked. 

I kept rewinding segments to listen to again and was physically in shock at some scenes.

I loved the dynamic of all 4 of our MCs and how difficult it was to navigate around the politics of them all being enemies in some way.

I adored seeing more of Keris and Zarrah together and I think they might now be my favourite couple of the Bridge Kingdom.

This was so messy, we had so many betrayals, reveals, mysteries of the past unearthed in the most devastating way possible and I was hooked for the entirety of it all.

I cannot wait to see what the author brings us next!
