I read this book to fit the genre blend prompt for TBRathon hosted by LeandratheTBRzero!
The Bridge Kingdom series was recommended to my by a Bookstagram creator back in March of 2024...I read Bridge Kingdom back in Fall of 2024 (I can't remember which month) and I enjoyed it! I think I gave it around a 4.5 star rating and I thought it was a decent start to a series and had potential!
This book however caught me completely off guard and I literally devoured this book! It started right where the bridge kingdom left off and it did not let me go. If you enjoy high stake, prisoner / rescue stories then this book is going to be for you! I probably would have read this whole book in one sitting if I didn't start so late the first night!
It took me a minute to remember who the characters were and who was fighting for what but once the details came back to me this book had me in a choke hold and didn't let go!
I was fully invested and cared for all of the characters for different reasons. I didn't know who to trust and for me that make it that much more exciting! I also liked the different point of views in this series because you really got to know what each character was feeling / fighting for!
I love Arwen / Laura.
Laura has everything to loose and she doesn't stop fighting even though she knows the outcome is probably not going to be in her favor. This doesn't stop her from fighting for what she believes is right! She is a warrior / Queen through and through!
Arwen has so much to sort through - not only is he a prisoner at the beginning of this book he is trying to sort of the biggest betrayal from the women he loved. His people are dying trying to save him, he has to watch them be tortured and the watch as their bodies are displayed....I can't even imagine the mental trauma he went through...
Then he is saved by the very women who betrayed him and his people and they are forced to survive and fight for the greater good!
This book has so many twists and turns and Laura really proves herself in my opinion...There is also a ton of politics in this book and I am very interested to see where this series is going to go next...I'm sad that Laura and Arwen's story in done after this book BUT I am very intrigued by this next couple featured in what I'm assuming is going to be the next 2 books of this series!
