The first book kind of disappointed me but I absolutely loved The Traitor Queen!! Now we actually start off with Lara and Aren being real enemies, or at least Lara being a real enemy to Aren. Even though Lara is our heroine, it’s undeniable that she made some very impactful mistakes in the previous book. Starting with part two, I was therefore already quite curious as to how we could still get a happy ending. But honestly this book manages surprisingly very well to create a realistic “redemption arc” for Lara. My main highlight though was definitely the development of the relationship of Aren and Lara. The slow-burn, the inner conflicts, the dual POVs - simply perfect. - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Update October 2023: Ich hatte anscheinend nen richtig guten Sonntag mit dem Buch damals. Schön für dich, Sina. Mein Herz hat diese Serie allerdings nicht mehr. Aber ich denke, dass diese Geschichte einen Platz in vieler anderer Herzen verdient hat. Bisschen Trennungsgespräch-Vibes hier. Liegt nicht an dir, liegt an mir (nur, dass es hier tatsächlich wahr ist). Review from February 2021: All in all, a book that would have earned 5 stars if not for the ending. I spent a whole snowy Sunday with this book, I suffered, read with excitement and my heart was broken more than once. And that's exactly why I would have liked a different ending. Not related to what happens in terms of content, but to the haste with which it was suddenly told. One gets the feeling that the author ran out of ambition or time on the last pages. Nevertheless, this series has my heart, even though it has been broken and put back together several times.

In the beginning of this book, we find Lara and Aren shortly after the end of [book:The Bridge Kingdom|211081101], Lara on her way to rescue him to redeem herself, Aren in captivity at her father's palace. I enjoyed this book nearly as much as the previous one. The romance was still compelling, but even more so was the political landscape and the way the two of them brokered alliances to get Aren and Ithicana free, sometimes based on as little as temporarily overlapping goals, sometimes based on deep life-long trust. I got a little annoyed with how easily Lara wanted others to forgive her for what she did, even if it was accidentally, but that was mostly personal annoyance. I can understand that despite believing people should not forgive her, she definitely still wants their forgiveness, as she loves these people. So this is less a grievance with the book and its plot or characters and more just petty annoyance. I will continue to read the series because I love the political landscape and world that Danielle L. Jensen is painting, and as I loved the romance of this first duology, I will surely love the romance in the next books of this series too, even if they seem to focus on other characters than these first two books did.

This book is pure heartbreak and pain. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. This duology is one of my all time favorites. FOR A DAMNED REASON. It is incredibly well written. The world building is amazing. And the characters…. goddamn I can never decide if I love my queen Lara or my king Aren more. I FAINTED when Aren called her ‚love‘. Excuse me while I go cry in my corner. This book is a journey that breaks me with every reread. I feel their pain. I live it. I SCREAM AT THEM TO JUST FINALLY GET BACK TOGETHER. 5

Hat sich sehr gezogen

Teils war es spannender als der erste Teil, jedoch haben mich viele Passagen einfach nur verwirrt, lag vermutlich daran, dass teils vieles schnell passiert ist und dies nicht wirklich gut bildlich erklärt wurde. Zudem waren es ein paar zu viele Charaktere. Wie beim ersten Buch auch, finde ich, dass das Genre Fantasy absolut nicht passt. Es ist eine erfundene Welt- das wars aber auch schon. Sehr aktionreich und kriegerisch, hätte mir da mehr Fantasy gewünscht oder ruhige Momente. Da nun dieser Teil recht abgerundet endet, ohne Cliffhanger, werde ich die Reihe nicht weiter lesen.

An absolut masterpiece of an ending to the story of Lara and Aren. The amount of stress I went through reading this is unmatched. I really don’t know what to say except that everyone who hasn’t, must read this!

I don’t get the hype around this series. I mean it’s not bad, just kind of boring? I don’t know. I just feel like there is no real depth to the characters, so everything feels kind of impersonal.

Nachdem Aren gefangen genommen und Lara aus Ithicana verbannt wurden, muss sie einen Weg suchen, um ihn irgendwie aus den Fängen ihres Vaters zu befreien. Dafür baut sie auf die Hilfe anderer und vor allem auf die Hilfe ihrer Schwestern. Ein langer Weg steht Lara bevor, der sehr beschwerlich ist und seine Opfer verlangt. Man sieht hier in dem Teil wieder ganz klar, weshalb Lara "die kleine Kakerlake" genannt wird. So viel muss sie durchstehen und an ihre körperlichen Grenzen stoßen, so sehr, dass sie öfters fast das Zeitliche segnet. Doch sie steht immer und immer wieder auf, lässt sich nicht unterkriegen und gönnt sich selbst keine Pause. Zugegebenermaßen war das teilweise sehr unlogisch, da sie eigentlich mit Sicherheit tot sein müsste. Aber was wäre diese Reihe ohne unsere geliebte Lara. Die Handlung war anfangs sehr zäh und schleichend, aber dennoch spannend, weshalb ich interessiert weiter gelesen habe. Mein größter Kritikpunkt ist, wie auch bereits im ersten Teil, die Weltbeschreibung, vor allem für Ithicana. Ich konnte mir einfach nicht vor Augen führen, wie das alles dort genau aussehen soll, wo sie sich in manchen Momenten befinden, wie es aufgebaut ist. Der zweite Teil war der letzte aus den Sichten von Lara und Aren. Ich werde das ganze erst einmal sacken lassen und mich Zarrah dann irgendwann später einmal widmen.

3.25 -6.5 Carino, anche se verso la fine mi sono stancata un po' di leggere delle paturnie dei protagonisti. Ho adorato che il finale si sia concluso con un motivo meno prevedibile rispetto al normale. Continuerò la serie, ma non subito.

This book was a real page turner for me, it’s easy to dive back into the world and the plot. A lot of feelings are portrayed and even more character growth and nerve wrecking scenes. I love the determination of the Main Character Lara and like in the first book her strength. She’s a real queen, I love her!

I really love this series. I think this one was much faster paced. More happened and I liked that Lara and Aren interacted more than in the first book. I wish this book had a map of the world though, because I find it hard to picture the geographical set up of the countries.

Better than book 1 - but still I cannot understand the hype.
