Average rating3.9
Return to the world of The Bridge Kingdom in this sensuous fantasy full of romance and intrigue that is perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and A Court of Silver Flames. A soldier raised as heir to an empire, Zarrah is motivated by two truths. The first is that the Veliant family murdered her mother. And the second is that her pursuit of vengeance will put every last one of them in their graves. The Endless War between Maridrina and Valcotta has raged for generations, leaving thousands of Zarrah’s people dead and countless more orphaned. So when she’s given command of the contested city of Nerastis, Zarrah is prepared to do whatever it takes to destroy the Maridrinian forces who oppose her. And to kill the Veliant prince who leads them. Yet a chance encounter with an anonymous, and handsome, Maridrinian causes Zarrah to question whether the violence she’s perpetrated is justice or a crime. And as she continues to meet the nameless man each night, she finds common ground—and fiery passion–in his arms. But when identities are revealed, Zarrah must decide whether to embrace a chance at peace… or march to the drums of war.

This is the third book of The Bridge Kingdom. And it was so good. This follows two different characters. It follows Zarrah and Keris. It was a little bit more 🌶️ than the other two. Not so much but it had it and I loved it. Yes by the end of the book some of the chapters was okay. But the ending got me giving this a 5⭐️. And I need book 4 like now.
The book follows the story of Keris and Zarrah (heirs of Maridrina and Valcotta, respectively) and overlaps most of the events of the Traitor Queen. Because of this, I've found some parts a bit slow and repetitive as we are seeing the same dialogues happening, interspaced with new ones. This issue might be more evident to me as I just fineshed readind the previous books.
Despite this, I liked Keris and Zarrah a lot, much more than Aren and Lara, and I am excited for the next instalment in the series.
I've started reading it because I was in love with Aren and Lara and wanted to know more about them even though I knew this book was about Keris and Zarrah. However, for my surprise I ended up loving Keris and Zarrah even more as the characters are much better developed than the previous couple. I just couldn't stop reading and wonder what was going to happen to them.
