Danielle really does love making her characters absolutely go through it, these two did not get a second of peace I swear but I also totally ate it up. I really enjoyed this one and loved both Zarrah and Keris but I didn’t connect with them in the same way I did with Lara and Aren and I think this was just because it felt like a lot of the story really dragged. They spent such a huge portion of the book in Vencia inside the palace that in the end I did lose just the tiniest bit of interest.
In saying this, I’m really invested in this series now and I want to see what happens to all of these characters I’ve come to love so much so I’ll be diving into the next one. I also thought Keris was such an interesting MMC because we’re so used to seeing the tough, battle worn and classically muscled sexy mmc in romantasy and Keris really isn’t that. He’s intellectual and soft (not in a bad way). He finds violence really hard to deal with and relies heavily on his wit and smarts and I love that.
I would recommend it if you loved The Bridge Kingdom and wanted to learn more about Keris and Zarrah and you adore a forbidden romance.
