I absolutely adore this series and the first 24 chapters of Scorched Earth aren't enough to quench my thrist. This was such an amazing excerpt, it had everything I wanted. Danielle L. Jensen delivered and I can't wait to finish this book in August!

This book was exactly what I was waiting for. The first 24 charpters are an action-packed, romance filled rollercoaster ride that I loved every second of. Danielle has a way of pulling you back into the story no matter how long it’s been since you’ve picked up on of her books. I was excited to see just how much our favorite characters have changed and grown and continue to. Just when you think you couldn’t love a character more, Daniele adds more depth and elements to their story that just makes you love them more, in some series, I’ve run into issues with characters personalities/banger falling flat, that’s never been a problem with Danielle’s books. I think I fall more in love with the characters with every new release I read. The struggles they overcome and the way they overcome them are so cool to see. Especially from the first book to the last.. you can really see just how far those characters have come. I am so in love with all these characters and their journeys. I can’t wait for this book to release. Thank you Danielle for never disappointing and always giving us magical words to immerse ourselves in when escapism comes calling. 10/10 exactly what I was waiting for. Now I just have to make it to release day. BRB going to go re-read dark shores to get rid of this book hangover

24 chapters was not enough, I crave more and can't wait for the rest!
It's already heading in a good direction and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

I love Danielle L. Jensen, and the Bridge Kingdom series is one of my all time favorites. This, however, wasn't it for me. I was super excited to read this one - and I still do want to read the whole thing when it gets released - but the infodumping throughout this excerpt gave me a headache. There were so many names, job titles, and places that just got mentioned with absolutely no explanation as to what anything means. I think if someone is committed to sitting down and reading this book, like I was with this excerpt, they'll be able to get through it and enjoy it, but if it's a casual reader looking for a good time, the sheer brain power required to even sort of understand what's going on for the first 50% is too much.

I'm looking forward to the full release!
