The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen

5.0

I LOVED this. Really enjoyed the characters, the plot, the world building. it was so much fun. I definitely see some similarities to acotar/acomaf, there’s definitely some loose hades & persephone themes. but I loved all the tropes. enemies to lovers, who did this to you, the list goes on. the romance is DEF a slow burn. BUT I loved how they actually started out as enemies, not the “we hate each other for no reason but one of us secretly loves the other” stuff of rom coms. these two were from actual enemy kingdoms. while the romance was slow, there was no lack of action. the story jumps RIGHT into it and the plot moves pretty fast the whole time. I had a liiiiittle trouble following the lore when it came to picturing the bridge, and understanding the timeline of storms and war tides. but I did figure it out. I felt like the pacing was overall really great and i’m excited to continue on to book 2!!!!
