I read the first two books in The Bridge Kingdom last year and knew the series continued with The Inadequate Heir, which centers on Zarrah (Valcotta’s general and heir) and Prince Keris Veliant (Lara’s older brother). This book takes place during the events at the end of book 1, throughout book 2, and for a brief period afterwards. So, even though I owned the third book, I opted to wait till both parts of their story were out before reading it. Well, I just got my hands on the fourth book, so it’s finally time to read this duology in The Bridge Kingdom universe.
