The Bridge Kingdom

I liked it, the story/world was interesting, the main characters are likable and I do have a weakness for graceful assassin/warrior people, the looks-innocent-but-secretly-is-dangerous type does have a certain charm.

I liked the relationship for the most part and Lara's personal development was interesting. I liked Aren as well, but I do think he was maybe a bit too soft for the king of a nation depending on keeping secrets from his wife's home country.

I did not love how this book ended, but that might be a personal preference, it caused a situation that seemingly would make it very difficult for the main characters to be together in a satisfying way and I don't like my romance to get too dark.
