The Bridge Kingdom

So good! I enjoyed the world-building, the political conflict, the characters, and the spy aspect of it.
The plot was solid and I NEEDED to know where this was going.

The only thing less positive about it was that the conflict between Aren and Lara was very predictable. It didn't make sense that Lara, as smart as she was and with as much training as she had, would miss one opportunity and one detail opportunity: come clean to Aren about the letters and immediately destroy them; detail: the mysterious woman's identity which led to that conflict. I get why the author did it, but it didn't make sense for the character to behave that way.

I really enjoyed this one! Can't wait to read the next one.
