The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen

3.0

This book has been on my TBR for a while but I never picked it up. I saw it was on the audible plus for free so I decided to give it a listen.

The first 3rd of the book I was captivated I really enjoyed the origin of Lara and I loved how she had made feminine rage! I really loved how she is the morally grey character in the story rather than it being her love interest, it was a nice change.

The next 3rd of the book lost me a bit it took me weeks to get through it, o felt like the momentum in the first part of the book died off and a lot of nothing was happening. If felt this way pretty much till the end.

But then the last chapter of the book hooked me right back in and makes me want to continue the series. I’m still on the fence so I’m not rushing into it.

Other than that I loved Lara and Aren as characters - I think Aren could have had more personality but I do think it was heavily focused on Lara and she did have a captivating personality and story.

I think the world building was really good in this book I love the concepts of the islands and bridges and the imagery that is used to describe the storms, the forest the waters around them.
