Lightlark
An instant #1 national bestseller—soon to be a major motion picture. #BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers readers a masterfully written, utterly gripping YA fantasy novel Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood.
The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has something to hide. Each realm’s curse is uniquely wicked.
To destroy the curses, one ruler must die. Isla Crown is the young ruler of Wildling—a realm of temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with. They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial.
To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray…even as love complicates everything. Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, Lightlark is a must-read for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.

3.5 ⭐️ This was alright but definitely nothing special, I won’t rush to read the 2nd one but I’ll probably get to it eventually.

This book was just as good if not better the second time around. I still do not agree with the ending 👀👀 team grim forever. But this is only book one and I have faith. This book hurt so much more this time around knowing all the secrets and how everything was going to end up. All of the people lying to isla the whole time she was on the island and even her whole life. I loved how different this book was from anything I have ever read before, I adore the world Alex has created and I can’t wait to finally continue with the series.
