 What word I give it matters little. What matters is that even after my bones are dust and my name lost to history and history lost to time, I will feel this way for you.” ― Danielle L. Jensen, The Endless War

A tale of star-crossed lovers. A warrior puppet meets reluctant heir is this episodic story to do battle against love and for it.

Honestly, this one was so close to being a five star read if something towards the end hadn’t pissed me off so much (not a spoiler, I’m just odd and I’m sure this thing would be irrelevant to everyone else). Keris absolutely carried this book, I adored him but I wish I had liked Zarrah’s character more. I actually think my favourite part of this was the siblingship between Lara and Keris because it was so sweet to see them come together again and also bicker like siblings do.

These poor characters truly never catch a break and I felt like we just went from one moment of panic and pain to the next but I did thoroughly enjoy it. There were so many emotional moments and parts that had my heart racing and I’m just so glad I decided to continue with this series.

Amount of spice:🔥🔥
Explicitness: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

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.
