The parallels between The Traitor Queen and The Endless War literally start from the first page - Zarrah (Aren), imprisoned, because the love of her (his) life betrayed her (him).

HEARTBREAK EVERYWHERE HEARTBREAK EVERYWHERE HEARTBREAK EVERYWHERE

[oneforthemunny]

did nb get emotional after having zarrah thinking she’d never have another baby again? then vega was like ✌️

yes and no. yes in the way of she loves being a mom but also is definitely feeling the weight and pressure of it. she doesn't ever want to feel "too busy" for her girls and it's getting to that point honestly. but the emotions of the final (or so she thinks) baby comes later in life. like first birthdays, first christmas, first halloween, first day of school- those types of emotions because it's the very last time... or so they think. then vega comes along lol.

DnD character finished! My grave cleric Zarrah!

[dangermousie]

This is how you know he’s the ML!

Anyway I am reading the latest in Danielle Jensen’s awesome Bridge Kingdom series. The first two books were about the sister of this ML, called Lara who was brought up as a poison pill of a bride - spy and assassin - to marry into the wealthy and reclusive Bridge Kingdom and get info that would allow monster daddy to take it from within. Alas for daddy, she hated him and liked her new husband so awesomeness ensued. My favorite is book 2 where her husband is captured and thinks she betrayed him and the kingdom and meanwhile Lara gets readied for war to rescue for war and rescue because whether he is right to hate her or not they can hash out when he’s freed.

Anyway the following novels are about Keris, Lara’s only decent brother (who daddy hates for not being a monster and who just wants to be a scholar not a fighter) and Zarrah, the best general of another enemy kingdom.

I think you see why I like the series - like Gong Xinwen in English with BAMF battle goddess/murder machine ladies rescuing their beautiful and less good at battle men 😝

ETA: this is FL - genius general’s - trauma:

And she’s gonna hook up with the son of a man who did this, cannot wait!

Btw the novel is called The Inadequate Heir and here is the glorious summary:

Heeeee! It’s everything I like in one. Apparently the second book of this particular duology is not coming out until November booo but that summary is even more glorious:

[booksandfantasies]

Hi:) I know you like the last book more but when you read the endless war, can you maybe say how often Laren is there too? Like only some chapters or are is it worth reading the whole book if it’s mostly for them? I also subscribed for Lara‘s POV Chapter! So excited!

So I just finished reading The Endless War and I loved it! Now as far as Lara and Aren, they are in this book a lot more compared to The Inadequate Heir but they still only have a minor role in this book. I think that if you aren't really interested in Keris and Zarrah's story and are only really interested in Lara and Aren, then I don't really think they are in the book enough to make it worth reading. There are some good moments with them but they are only in a couple of chapters all together. The end of this book does set up the next book in the series which is about Aren's sister Ahnna which I'm not sure if you are interested in or not. Personally, this was definitely my favorite in this series (but I love Keris and Zarrah) but if you are only reading it for Aren and Lara, I don't think they were in it enough to make it a worth while read. I hope this helps.

Apa yang Allah Perbuat, sedikit pun tidak pernah mendzolimi hamba-hamba-Nya.

Karena Manusia hidup dengan kehendak Allah. Diantara karunia Allah dan keadilan Allah;

Antara Allah memberikan anugerah keutamaan atau karunia-Nya kepada hamba-Nya, atau Allah membalas sesuai keadilan-Nya.

Manusia diberikan kenikmatan jasmani, rohani, hidayah, taufiq dll yang demikian adalah karunia dari Allah, begitu juga manusia diberikan musibah di dunia dan akhirat disebabkan keadilan Allah.

Syaikh Abdul Muhsin Al Abbad hafidzahullah berkata:

"Tidak mungkin ada kedzoliman dalam perbuatan Allah selama-lamanya karena kesempurnaan keadilan Allah."

Allah Ta’ala berfirman,

“Dan Allah tidak menghendaki berbuat kedzoliman terhadap hamba-hamba-Nya.” (QS. Al-Mukmin: 31)

“Dan sekali-kali tidaklah Rabb-mu mendzolimi hamba-hambaNya.” (QS. Fushshilat: 46)

“Sesungguhnya Allah tidak berbuat dzolim kepada manusia sedikit pun.” (QS. Yunus: 44)

“Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menganiaya seseorang walaupun sebesar zarrah.” (QS. An Nisaa’: 40)

Satu Detik Wahai Dzat yang memiliki sembilan puluh sembilan nama. Bila diri ini gugur dalam keadaan mengejar sesuatu yang fana. Di hatinya hanya ada dunia, tidak ada akhirat walau sebesar biji zarrah—pun di dalamnya. Sungguh ia hanya punya satu permintaan. Tolong ampuni kesalahan beserta dosanya. Bila tidak, izinkan ia untuk satu kali lagi hadir di dunia. Tak mengapa, bila ia lahir dalam keadaan berpenyakit yang tidak bisa disembuhkan hingga akhir hayatnya. Kendati janji, ia akan menghadapinya dengan penuh kesabaran. Setiap hari lisannya akan selalu berucap tentang Asma dan Husna. Kendati—pun janji, ia akan seperti Ayyub alaihissalam, yang membuat singgasana—Mu bergetar karena kesalehannya. Tapi itu mustahil, tidak mungkin terjadi. Rabb-Ku tidak akan mengizinkan aku lahir kembali, meski satu detik saja. Rancaekek, pukul sembilan lebih empat belas.

Hello, bookish friends!⁣

⁣

𝐐𝐎𝐓𝐃: Any author that you discovered here in bookstagram and became a favorite?⁣

⁣

𝐀𝐎𝐓𝐃: Danielle L. Jensen is one pf those authors for me! As soon as I started The Bridge Kingdom, I knew I was gonna have to get all of her books🤩 ⁣

⁣

I’m so thrilled to help out with the cover reveal to the 4th book in 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐚𝐫! It’s already 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 but of you’re a print girlie like me, we’d have to wait until 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 28 for the North American editions, and 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 23 for the UK and the Commonwealth😅 The cover artwork is by Annabelle Moe @avendellart and is just *chef’s kiss* Check out the synopsis below:⁣

⁣

Newly crowned as king, Keris has watched, powerless, as his forbidden relationship with Zarrah is revealed. But when Zarrah is imprisoned by the empress, Keris knows there is only one way to save her: to ally with the kingdom he nearly destroyed.⁣

 ⁣

Imprisoned on the dreaded Devil’s Island, Zarrah faces two choices: prove her loyalty to the empress who condemned her or die a traitor. Yet as she struggles to survive among violent prisoners, Zarrah uncovers a third path: a rebellion to overthrow tyranny entwined with a destiny she must fight to claim.⁣

 ⁣

While the empress plots a war with devastating consequences, Keris and Zarrah must find their way back to each other. Yet their greatest adversary is the fiery passion between them. Unless they overcome the bitterness of betrayal, their love will not be the bringer of peace but rather the fuel that turns the Endless War into an inferno.⁣

⁣

[lost-in-fictionn]

Hunt and Ruhn are captives and Bryce is in velaris. Zarrah has been sent to a prison where no one survives. Persephone has been kidnapped and hades is captive. Auren is in annwyn and Slade lost his raw magic power to rip a new hole.

And reading books was supposed to be relaxing? Kill me already, why don't you?
