I genuinely can't wait for the next two books in the series, even though it follows two new characters, who were introduced in this instalment. I read this whole thing in two sittings, refusing to put it down until it was finished at 5am because YES.it was THAT GOOD. That's literally the only criticism that I have.īut not to worry! There were some definite swoon-worthy parts that had me audibly squealing in happiness, despite the wee hours in the morning.

I just wish that there'd have been a more satisfactory reunion for the two of them at the end of the book. He was a man who was so used to having his country AND his queen, that when faced with having to choose between the two.he turned into an indecisive idiot. 💙 I also really want to see them bond with their brother, Keris, in the future books!Īren, especially, frustrated me because he was so flip-floppy. I absolutely LOVED meeting all of her sisters though and seeing how protective they were of each other. I know Lara made some pretty major mistakes in the previous instalment, but I thought that she was treated a bit unfairly here, despite her vigorous efforts to make up for all of her wrongdoings.

So, I'll be brief as to not spoil anyone. HOW AM I MEANT TO WAIT A YEAR FOR THE NEXT ONE?!?!!! 😭😩 With everything she loves in jeopardy, Lara must decide who – and what – she is fighting for: her kingdom, her husband, or herself. But her greatest adversary of all might be the very man she’s trying to free – the husband she betrayed. 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. 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 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.Īnd it is bait she fully intends to take. 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.
