Description
The Celendor Empire has set its sights on conquering the far side of the world. And the secret to transporting its legions across the treacherous seas is held by seventeen-year-old Teriana.
Teriana has always been taught that east must never meet west, but when her closest friend is forced into an unwanted betrothal, she breaks the rule. A decision Teriana comes to regret when her crew are imprisoned and she lands face-to-face with the Empire’s most ruthless―and secretive―commander, Marcus. To save her people, Teriana chooses to guide Marcus and his legions into a world of meddlesome gods and magic. But with dark forces rising on both sides of the seas, the consequences of her alliance with the enemy may be greater than she imagined . . . especially for her heart.

imagination bred fiercer fears than reality ever could. What a journey! While it took me a short while to get a grip of this world (there were certain terms/creatures just thrown in there without explanation, but it really didn't stay like this for long), once I had, I really loved it. Danielle Jensen created a world based on ancient Rome (which reminded me of all those loathed Latin lessons I suffered through) and added so much that it became its own. I like how she wove it all together and I'm so here for more. I want to explore the world she's created in more detail (I'm cursing the fact that I had ordered the sequel at the same time but it hasn't been delivered yet). Teriana and Marcus are amazing characters (once I warmed up to them which took a while) with so many layers and in a way they're just figuring out who they are themselves. I really loved going on this journey with them. The writing and the plot were really good (and I know I shouldn't do this whole comparing books thing but here we go) but I liked The Bridge Kingdom a little bit better. It just pulled me in faster and I liked the characters better from the start.
