A review by rachelscourtofbooks
Lightlark by Alex Aster
4.0
No spice, although Alex Aster has said that she added like 8 pages of it. Very YA.
All in all, I loved the story. It's a whole lot of hunger games meets acotar. However, I think for a fantasy story like this, 800 pages in the whole book would have been more adequate. I would have loved more world building and getting to know the other characters a bit better, as some seem rather 2 dimensional. I'm looking very forward to the movie/series that will spring out of this, so I hope they will fill some of the plotholes... The story is very fast paced, so this was a quick enjoyable read, so I give it like 3.75 stars. Enjoy reading it!!!!
