Lightlark (the Lightlark Saga Book 1)

"This book had me SHRIEKING!!!! It had everything I adore in a Young Adult Fantasy novel!! High stakes, compelling world building, complex characters! Isla was such an easy protagonist to root for. I felt for her throughout. I was giddy when she started to fall in love. I was scared when she was risking her life. I cried when she cried. Also, can we talk about the TROPES???? It had all my favorites!! Enemies to lovers, love triangle (but in a heart wrenching way, not in a cheesy Twilight/Hunger Games kind of way), girl who doesn’t believe in love (but of course finds it), and so many more. Now for the SPOILER ALERT: I really didn’t know who to root for: Oro or Grim? It was like my heart just couldn’t decide, just like Isla. Every time I preferred one, I felt like I was betraying the other. But in other news, this book gave me ONE HELL OF A PLOT TWIST! I had a sinking feeling toward the beginning that Celeste would betray Isla (I was praying I was wrong) but the fact that she was actually AURORA?? And that GRIM AND POPPY AND TERRA betrayed her too??? I was absolutely floored. Both my girl Isla and I cannot trust anyone but my main man Oro. (Though I still have a place in my broken heart for Grim, just like Isla) I literally cannot wait to see what happens in the next book (and what is in that damn vault)!!! God, I hate cliffhangers!!! 10/10 read though! I really don’t understand why so many have been hating on it. Sure, sometimes the writing came off juvenile but I was entertained and it offered an amazing escape from real life, and isn’t that why we read in the first place? People need to chill"

"Reminds me of a supernatural flare on the hunger games!"

"The fate of her people is on her shoulders, but who can she trust? She is one of six rulers fighting to save their realm, but her secret could be her destruction. #curses "

"Ok but all I can say is WOW The plot twists, the mysteries, the SUSPENSE. This book captured me, body and soul, like a way I haven’t felt since fourth wing. Honestly I did not see the end coming and both men ?? Omg. I cannot wait for the next one "

"I’m so disappointed I didn’t like this book as much as I thought I would…. Some parts were good!! It got me HOOKED. However, most of the book was just emotional monologues and Isla being naive, so….yeah. I was just annoyed with the mc the entire time. I feel like if Cleo was the mc, I would have liked the book more…because Cleo seems really head-strong and strategic. She doesn’t wait for people around her to start killing her. Instead, she develop her own plan and work her butt off. I also didn’t really like the romance-subplot. A lot of it was really forced…and I was mad because I really really wanted the mc to make some progress or kick some butts. I didn’t feel the chemistry between Grim and Isla either. Everything felt like lust. As for Oro and Isla, their friendship would’ve been great. The author revealing that Oro loves Isla didn’t really make sense lol. I wish she wrote them to become best friends."

"I’m just going to say that the best thing about the book was the cover. If that tells you how bad it was then yea. There was so many plot holes that it wasn’t even an enjoyable read. It was described with having dangerous trials but I never really got a of that. Overall all I wouldn’t recommend "

"I don’t even know where to start. I liked it. I enjoyed it! I will read the second book. However, there was just something off with it. I didn’t feel like it flowed well, there was A LOT of unanswered questions, random scenes, etc. it really felt all over the place. I really enjoyed the concept of it. However it was hard to get into, but I love the magical abilities, royalty, and the curses! "

"I’m sorry but this is the worst writing I’ve read in awhile. No hate to the author but it’s like I’m reading a fanfic of something. I got like 50 pages in and couldn’t deal with it anymore. "

"I really loved the ending of this book. Don't get me wrong the whole book is great but the ending had me wanting more. Would recommend."

"TEAM ORO HANDS DOWN. I hated how the author made my cry like this. We have serious beef."
