Overall, 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!

DanyYnad I love when a book throws you off in the most unexpected ways and it always makes reading even more exciting. I'll have to check it out for my own personal reading! 3mo

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!

I was flying through the pages. The chapters were short and the narrative was addictive. Information was revealed in pieces which made it more intriguing.
Downsides: FMC's behaviour not in line with her upbringing, a lot of telling, unclear magical rules.
There were some hints on the big twists at the end but the whole showdown was so beautifully done and it left me wanting for more, immediately looking for the next installment.

One thing this book does very well is the building of suspense throughout ever character interaction. In a book where no character is supposed to trust the other (to do so would risk their life), Aster does a brilliant job of keep character dynamics intriguing and not repetitive or boring. She keeps the reader engaged and constantly wondering what actions/words they can trust, and what characters might have dubious intentions!

Lightlark has been on my tbr for as long as I can remember, and I‘m thankful that this class has pushed me to read it! The start of the book is very typical of a fantasy novel, it‘s a lot of world building and explanations of the lore/mythology of the new land. I‘m thoroughly enjoying this novel so far, but the writing style is a little stunted in my opinion, so it takes a little bit to really get into it!

kristinsmoyer Writing style makes such a difference! I‘m also reading a book that feels “stunted” right now. While the world the story takes place in is interesting, the writing doesn‘t allow the story to flow in my mind. 3mo

Doing a buddy read with one of my besties! It works out because I've been wanting to get into this series for a while, and now I have a reason to!

4.5⭐️ pleasantly surprised. Ive seen a few people include it on lists, few talks shows etc etc and thought I‘d give it a try. It‘s all a game until someone dies. Not to mention there are lies and liars are everywhere. And of course forbidden love; or lust or is it just part of the game?

Drnkpnkprincess Nightbane (2nd book) is at the library so I‘ll grab that this week. I‘m really blown away by the twist in this one even though I knew not to trust anyone. The betrayal by Grimm on both accounts, Poppy and Terra, Celeste; Isla‘s interpretation of the riddle which saved them. The Moonlings are up to something, I know it- and I can‘t wait to find out how it all unfolds! 8mo
