Captivating Romance with Rich Historical and Cultural Context
Revisado: 02-13-25
I loved this series and the third book did not disappoint. The romance story line had all the feels and did a great job executing the usual historical romance tropes. But this book has so much more. The FMC was strong,
smart and purpose driven. It is inspiring and fascinating to imagine what it must have been like to be an educated woman who defied societal norms at that time, much less a woman of color. I loved the historical context, the South American and Caribbean cultural references, and situating successful people of color and gay characters in this historical period. All while giving us the swoons and tropes we want if we like historical romance.

A commander who bled to defend her people, Ahnna is haunted by two beliefs. The first is that she failed to protect Ithicana from invasion. And the second is that saving her homeland means leaving it behind forever. The Maridrinians left Ithicana in ruins and its people impoverished. So when the wealthy kingdom of Harendell claims her as a bride for its crown prince, Ahnna is prepared to do whatever it takes to gain influence as the future queen. And to control the gold that comes with the throne.

Captivating Intertwined Storyline Continues!
Revisado: 10-12-24
The Bridge Kingdom series is such fabulous storytelling. The rich and detailed world building from the first four books continues, but Danielle Jensen brilliantly pulls it all together as side plots from earlier books now take on new significance. I loved getting a better understanding of how Ahnna felt about everything that happened. And James is such a great character whose back story explains his personality and is well crafted for the overall plot. Ahnna and James are great together and would make a great team if only . . .This book is all about political, rather than war, strategy so it gave this book a different quality and kept me engaged, unlike some fantasy series that become stale after several books. I loved (and hated!) the plot twist and didn’t see it coming. I can’t wait for the final book to see how all of these amazing couples create lasting peace.

Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance - and healing - in each other's arms.

All the Feels
Revisado: 08-07-23
I loved this book. I read it just to get closure on the series, expecting more of the same, and was pleasantly surprised. It had all the things I loved from the first three books but a different quality that kept me fully engaged. It probably reads more like a romance than a fantasy. It was mainly about Nesta’s personal growth and her relationship with Cassian, her sisters, and her friends. Excellent character development allowed me to empathize with Nesta even as she did horrible things, and gave realistic insight into how she overcame her pain and self loathing. The sex scenes are more explicit than the first books PG versions so don’t read if that’s a turn off but I read romance so they were fine for me. And from an artistic perspective they worked given Nesta’s intensity and the way she used sex to numb her pain. All in all Sarah Maas did not disappoint.

Ariadne Hui thrives on routine. So what if everything in her life is planned down to the minute: That’s the way she likes it. If she’s going to make partner in Toronto’s most prestigious law firm, she needs to stay focused at all times. But when she comes home after yet another soul-sucking day to find an unfamiliar, gorgeous man camped out in her living room, focus is the last thing on her mind. Especially when her roommate explains this is Choi Jihoon, her cousin freshly arrived from Seoul to mend a broken heart. He just needs a few weeks to rest and heal.

I Cant Get Enough of Ari and Jihoon
Revisado: 09-05-22
This was such a fun story with loveable characters, I couldn’t stop listening. The K-pop context was entertaining. But I don’t know anything about K-pop other than it does have millions of screaming obsessed teenage fans around the world. For me Ari was so relatable from her avoidance of feelings and people pleasing at work to the way she self sabotages when she is afraid. I worked at a corporate law firm and her professional journey felt very realistic. So did the family dynamics. And we all want to believe our favorite celebrity is like Jihoon, a thoughtful artist who is human and has the same personal and professional hopes as the rest of us. The story line was sweet and the dialogue witty and smart. I am a woman of color but not Asian and I loved the insights into Asian identity. I am definitely going to listen again. And I want a sequel (seems like there were hints of something between Kit and Hannah) so I can see more of Ari and Jihoon as they navigate life. And I want a Netflix movie - not a series (I love K dramas but the time commitment is too much lol). Overall this is a feel good story at its best. Great job to Lily Chu. And Phillipa was the perfect narrator. Her voice is smooth, pacing and intonation perfect, and voices distinct but natural.
