Review: The Bridge Kingdom


Review: The Bridge Kingdom, by Danielle Jensen, 5 stars




A warrior princess trained in isolation, Lara is driven by two certainties. The first is that King Aren of the Bridge Kingdom is her enemy. And the second is that she'll be the one to bring him to his knees.

The only route through a storm-ravaged world, the Bridge Kingdom enriches itself and deprives its rivals, including Lara's homeland. So when she's sent as a bride under the guise of peace, Lara is prepared to do whatever it takes to fracture its impenetrable defenses. And the defenses of its king.

Yet as she infiltrates her new home and gains a deeper understanding of the war to possess the bridge, Lara begins to question whether she's the hero or the villain. And as her feelings for Aren transform from frosty hostility to fierce passion, Lara must choose which kingdom she'll save . . . and which kingdom she'll destroy.


Genre: fantasy

Publication date: August 2019

Mature content: yes

Review: I loved it. Even if fantasy books are not usually my favorite reads, The Bridge Kingdom captured my attention from page one with compelling characters, almost non-stop action, a budding romance you really want to root for, and great world-building. 

If you love the genre, this is definitely a book worth reading. 

It does end on a cliffhanger, which means that if you want to know the rest of Lara and Aren's story you need to move on to book two in the series (The Traitor Queen). This Bridge Kingdom series is composed of five books in total (book five still pending to be published), but the last three books feature different main characters. 

Happy readings!
