The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen
4.25
adventurous dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

finally got to read this one after following the hype on bookstagram for quite some time. the first chapter was quite intense and got me hooked immediately. i admire the complex world-building and the characters. aren and lara and many of the side characters are very well crafted, though i wished to learn more about some of them (e.g. jor, taryn, annah). the character development of, particularly, lara was incredible and i loved how the story and her views on everything evolved. however, i got one word for you: miscommunication. gosh, how i hate this trope. i mean, i totally expected to happen exactly what happened but, needless to say, i hated it and it had me almost throw my kindle aggressively and incredibly frusted against a wall. i'm super excited about the second book and hope everything will be resolved then.
