Summary
#BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers listeners 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-listen for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.

SO GOOD!
Fantastic. The world has been built well, with space to expand, and the characters are varied enough to be interesting. I'm normally able to see the "twists" before they arrive, but there were a few in this I didn't see coming. Great performance too.

Great twists and turns
Adored this book. In some ways it was predictable but I enjoyed the writing style, the descriptions and fab plot twist

Great story telling
Not a huge lover of fantasy but this book had a great story line and even though I kind of guessed some of the story line I didn’t know how to fully connect the dots. Ready to download book 2

Amazing is an understatement
Wow, it’s probably the best book I read in years. So good! It felt like a simple fantasy book in the beginning but somewhere after the middle events started spinning so fast and unpredictable that I guessed only one thing out of everything. The writing is beautiful too. And the narrator did a great job. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

Average story
Leaves you wanting, magic system n world building feels incomplete. So many things not explained and left to general magic trope. All side characters feel flat and one dimensional.
