Lightlark by Alex Aster
1.5
adventurous mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

The pacing is so weird. Theres long expositional information dumping, then an action scene. It goes from slow to fast to slow again. So many characters could have benefited from character development due to how integral they are to the story. I wish the powers/ power systems had been more thoroughly explored. 
BEYOND THAT- Conceptually, theres some fun ideas, the curses are a neat basis for a story. The fight scenes are very vivid and engaging.
