Lightlark by Alex Aster

1.0

i saw so many mixed reviews, it was either 1 or 5 which was a possible red flag. but i started reading and i could already tell id be on the lower end of ratings by the first chapter. it was so, lifeless. honestly it’s a shame because the story outline has a good premise but the writer was just not able to execute it. plainly. it was laughable at points how bad it was, and being able to point out the recycled descriptions and plain writing techniques. the last 100-150 pages though became torturous. hopefully this will mean whatever i read next will be a heightened experience in comparison
