this was a slow start for me. it took a while for the momentum to build. once i reached almost 2/3, i couldn't put the book down. maybe i'm just a fan of oro.

i absolutely love the premise of 'lightlark'. i wanted a bit more out of the world building. i'm sure i would have loved this so much more if i were my younger self. this is exactly the kind of world i would have thrown myself into. it was a bit predictable for me, but i loved the way it all came together in the end. it was beautifully played out. i'm excited for the next book.
