A great novella for the bridge kingdom series!
Loved the insight into Lara and Aren's life after the battle
I want more of this. I’m pissed as hell they aren’t going to be main characters anymore!!

I received this digital novella as an incentive when I preordered The Inadequate Heir. It's not bad, but it's not good either. I was curious about what happened to Lara and Aren after the ending of The Traitor Queen and well, my questions were more or less answered.
I just wished the author wasn't influenced by spicy BookTok. I know there was a content warning at the beginning of the novella but it's my preference and I would have preferred it more if the author didn't oversexualize this couple. They were fine the way they were in the first and second book! Otherwise, they're going to sound like Zarrah and Keris who can't seem to stop talking about their desire for each other.

I loved that we got to see Aren and Lara again but truly the highlight for me was the flashbacks to Keris and Lara's relationship as children. When he would read to her
