A review by lyakimov
The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen
2.0
2.5 stars.
This book was okay, but it was just so predictable to the point that I wanted to DNF. I am completely fine with predictable plots, as long as they are written well and maintain my interest, but this was painfully boring and didn't have a whole lot of substance. The third act conflict was just so...ughhh I was like, might as well DNF at this point because I know Lara is going to get exiled when her betrayal is inevitably discovered.
The romance was fine, but I wasn't really convinced. I don't really know why they like each other?? All of their relationship development occurred, they get together and then...there is a months-long time jump. Not seeing them together for very long makes it feel like she gets exiled only like a couple weeks or so after they get together so the betrayal doesn't really seem too intense because it doesn't feel like they had ever really trusted each other for more than a week.
I don't think I will continue the series just because I am not interested enough. Maybe I will look at a recap website to see what happens in future books because I am curious, but it's a pretty straightforward story so I am sure I can guess.
