A review by bibliorow
Lightbearer by L.C. Davis
5.0
I absolutely fucking loved this. The premise got me right away, and when I started reading it I got excited because there were some similarities to a story I’m writing myself, and it made me more confident that I can publish it and there’s a market for it. This turned out to be a lot better than I expected and turned me on to LC Davis as a new favorite author.
This book doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is for its niche. I do think maybe it should’ve been a series - so much time passed and so much happened in the span of one book so it jumped ahead a lot, but I guess when eternity is the point, that’s necessary. But I would’ve welcomed a whole fantasy series about this plot. I wanted a little more development and I feel like I missed out on a lot of moments in between that I would’ve eaten up. But the moments we did get were surprisingly emotional, written well, and sprinkled with angst and drama. I got attached and invested, and I loved it. I would read this again, and I can’t wait to read more of LC Davis’s books.
