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 ( 🤞 ).

This book is not bad by any means. This is one of my favourite authors and I absolutely absolutely love this fantasy series. However, this book for me was a little bit of a roller coaster. There were some really high moments that I was enthralled I couldn’t put it down. It was so exciting and enjoyable and then there were some low points where I was just bored out of my mind and I did not care what was happening. 

I feel like this book you need to be a little shorter, especially in the beginning. The character growth in this book was a little lackluster. some character growth? But for some reason, it fell a little flat for me. I can’t pinpoint exactly what in the story made me feel that way, it just did.

The romance was good, but it didn’t excite me like the other books did. I felt like the characters for gave each other and madly back in love way too quickly. I would’ve liked a little more challenge and build up to the initial moment when they choose each other.

The politics felt a little rushed in this book. There were some new elements that were brought into the story that forced the story to rush a bit. I really appreciated learning a lot of the background things that happened politically which occurred in the past. But overall, it just felt a little rushed. 

The ending was very enjoyable and satisfying. I really did enjoy this book. I just went into it with very high expectations and it didn’t quite meet it for me. I am very excited for the next two books I think Ahna is going to be a very interesting character to follow and it is going to be really exciting to be in a brand new kingdom.

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.
