It is true that the Lightlark series is attempting to occupy the same romantasy feel as ACOTAR, but the similarities do not stop there. One in particular (you know which one I'm talking about) really /really/ has no significance in terms of the narrative and was just there so it could fulfill a trope that gets the girlies' hearts beating. They weren't as lengthy and layered with a long ass explanation that made no sense as Lightlark, but there was a series of fuckass plot twists at the end of Nightbane. baby don't hurt me), Grim brings up the value of pain, and they both examine being a source of life and a destroyer of life, a simultaneous cure and poison.
It's meant to be a little silly, but I really don't get the point in bringing it up or saying it aloud when the book doesn't attempt to interface with the actual politics of war or democracy or monarchies in any meaningful way. oro will be referred to as either wonderbread or an old man or my personal favorite, “walking chastity belt,” or some combination of the three. hey babe, so i’m in love with you and all and you’re like super hot, but no so i actually don’t want to touch you. any momentum that builds with her, oro and their new supporting characters is instantly killed by a grim flashback that's supposed to advance the plot (but i refuse to be gaslit!Aster has a dedicated audience of more than 905,500 followers on TikTok with 100 million views, and 60K followers on Instagram. Once again, it feels like the politics of the rulers only exist to make moral quandaries for the main character amd to be catalysts for her relationships with the other two love interests. i will be tuning in to lightl3rk because what do i have if a book doesn't make me laugh like the joker after killing robert de niro once i finish it?
The one star is reserved for the astronomical level of smut and it being too much alike SJM’S acotar series and writing. anyways, long story short, turns out isla was getting it on w rhysand before all the events of book 1 but things went south and so he took away her memories (after she asked him to, I KNEW IT! The book does not have much to say about love or pain or the cure/poison other than reflecting how Isla loves, how Grim feels pain, and uhhh.

Alex Aster’s intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla’s memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark’s seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. A lot of people seem very hopeful that tiktok popular kid Alex Aster will have improved and taken the critique her book received to heart. alex aster tries to ratchet up the stakes of this book with no regard for how to effectively impart danger, distress or anguish. the only reason i had the strength to keep going (because otherwise i spent this whole book rage-quitting even 15 or so pages) was because i needed to know if it would fix itself. I read MANY books, and somehow Alex weaves stories that stay with me, front and center—and make me wish desperately that I had more in front of me.
The probably isn't the fact that it's horny, but its horniness skates along in this weird limbo gray area because of its genre, offputting and unsatisfying.Yeah, we get some numbers, and some explanations to what happened to certain realms during the curses, but not in a way that feels realistic or weighty. Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers. even more ironic, years before, a different musician won a copyright suit claiming “creep” was copying their song.

Gorgeously lush and cinematic Lightlark is the kind of fantasy that indulges all your senses, makes you swoon, and then knocks you sideways with twists.I mean, I don't think anyone expected a huge jump in quality, but it would be interesting to see what improvements the author made. the book has grim behave violently, often contrary to isla's emotional instincts, then retroactively justifies everything he does. At one point, the idea of democracy is mocked because a vote gives the main characters a disadvantage when it comes to the approaching war.
