Alex Aster

3.96 AVERAGE


I cannot get over this book. It was amazing. Probably my favorite book of the year. I love her flaws, her ambition, and that she’s consistent. She didn’t change herself for the sake of character evolution she changed because she needed to and in the end she still knew that she truly didn’t want to rule.

I also cannot get over the ending. That was chefs kiss. I can’t wait for book three!!!

I was hesitant to give Lightlark 5 stars. THERE IS NO HESITATION HERE! This book was amazing!! We’ve got romance, betrayal, action, war… everything you need in a solid fantasy. THE SLOW BURN.

DID NOT FINISH

Didnt finish
Hate it

this is the most devastating book i’ve ever read, i felt happiness and it was all taken away from me, this was totally not the way i was planning to start my year and i cried and everything.

whatever aster has put into this is insane. i am team oro and i don’t even know what to think anymore. GRIM? this is messing up my head so much

THAT ENDING? HOW COULD YOU LEAVE IT LIKE THAT?

no this absolutely deserves 5 stars mark my words

Lightlark should’ve been a standalone, this was just meh…

Also the characters in this series need to start thinking with their brains and not their peens
