pickI really enjoyed this fantasy. It was a new author to me. I would definitely read more by this author and I intend to finish this series. I rated it 4 stars. (catching up on books I read in January)

pickIsla, the ruler of the Wildlings, has prepared her whole life to attend the Centennial, a gathering that happens every 100 years where the rulers of the six islands attempt to break their curses. Most have power and age on their side, however Isla is young and powerless with many lies and deceit around every corner. Book was just different enough to stand out in the Romantasy era that we are living in. Probably will continue with series.
Sarah Maas is a GENIUS! I‘m 58 years old and I‘m OBSESSED with her books. Life is hard right now with my husband‘s ALS and I‘m able to be swept away in her worlds with no worries!!!! Thank you, Sarah Maas! This is why I read! #SarahMass#ThroneOfGlass#EmpireOfStorms#TeenFantasy
pickI didn‘t love it, and I didn‘t hate it. I feel like it was so SLOW. I think I was about 30% in and it was still setting the story up. It‘s a bit slow for my taste. I feel like I‘ll like book 2 better. 3.5 🌟
pickI enjoyed this… stayed up late reading it, which is one of my main tells that I‘m invested in a story. It does embrace tropes and well known story arcs, but still managed to surprise me at times. I‘ll be continuing with this series, and I‘m predicting it will get darker before the end. We haven‘t visited the Nightshade realm yet, after all.
pickI know it‘s been a minute but in the last few weeks my reading has finally picked up again…lol (I don‘t know what happened!!!! Lightlark has blown me away. Wow….is all I have to say right now!!!! Why did it take me so long to read it???? More of a review late when I get thoughts together. #litsylove #AMAZING #fantasyromance #fantasy #couldnotputdown #november #2024
I absolutely looooooved #Lightlark & #Nightbane! I highly recommend. I can‘t wait for the third book! 📕 Oro 🤍 Isla 🩷 Grim 🖤
I‘m on book 204 for 2024
pickOverall, this book was very good and the plot as well! The love triangle is a little sprung on you at the end and there were so many plot twists in the last 50 pages it felt like whiplash. It‘s been a long time since a book has surprised me as much as this one has! Because of the more mature elements of this story, I don‘t think it belongs in a classroom, but definitely an extracurricular read for sure!
Another thing this author does well is that she conveys her story simply. For some people, that can be a strike against the author, but I think the level of writing is very understandable for middle grades; even more so for high schoolers (it might be too easy for advanced readers). This story is accessible to all levels of readers, which makes the story more open and appreciated!
