A queen now in exile as a traitor, Lara has watched Ithicana be conquered by her own father, helpless to do anything to stop the destruction. But when she learns her husband, Aren, has been captured in battle, Lara knows there is only one reason her father is keeping him alive: as bait for his traitorous daughter. And it is bait she fully intends to take. Risking her life to the Tempest Seas, Lara returns to Ithicana with a plan not only to free its king, but for liberating the Bridge Kingdom from her father’s clutches using his own weapons: the sisters whose lives she spared. But not only is the palace inescapable, there are more players in the game than Lara ever realized, enemies and allies switching sides in the fight for crowns, kingdoms, and bridges. But her greatest adversary of all might be the very man she’s trying to free – the husband she betrayed. With everything she loves in jeopardy, Lara must decide who – and what – she is fighting for: her kingdom, her husband, or herself.

THIS IS THE SECOND BOOK OF THE BRIDGE KINGDOM. SO IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE FIRST BOOK. DON'T READ THIS REVIEW. I ENJOY THIS BOOK SO MUCH MORE THAN THE FIRST ONE. I LOVE BOTH OF THEM BUT THIS ONE GIVE EVERYTHING IT NEEDED TO GIVE. I LOVE HOW SHE KEEPS ON FIGHTING NO MATTER WHAT. SHE WILL DO ANYTHING SHE NEEDS TO DO FOR HER LOVED ONES. I CAN'T SAY MORE BECAUSE THEN I SPOILED IT.
I expected more from the ending. It struck through the whole book for me.
once again this shit was so meh. also the characters were incredibly frustrating at times and the ending was underwhelming
3.5 stars
Unpopular opinion alert!
I expected to love this one, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book in the series.
The story felt a little rushed, and there was a lot of self-loathing, regret, and struggle with forgiving specific past actions and choices. I get why the characters were stuck in that cycle at the beginning of the book, but it felt repetitive as the story progressed. Unfortunately, Aren gave me whiplash through most of the story. I felt like the romance wasn't my favorite part of the story for more than half of the book.
I loved Lara and her sisters' scenes! Badass female characters! I also enjoyed the ending, and I still love the characters.
