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.

A Twisted Tale!♥️👑💀🌿
Lightlark: Lightlark, Book 1
By: Alex Aster
🎧 Audiobook Narrated by: Suzy Jackson
Length: 12 hrs and 57 mins
I found this to be an interesting read. However, the mfc was often too idiotic for words most of the time!🤦🏻♀️It was quite frustrating, but essentially, it was deeply sad how blindly she trusted.🥺
Some of the world building was a tad dense for my tastes. I have to say, though, on the whole, I enjoyed the story and how it unravelled.
I liked this audiobook. The narrator did an excellent job assigning voices to each character. I found her work to be completely compelling.⭐️

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.

a solid four star read
Initially when I purchased this book, it was due to the pre order reviews that slated this as an absolutely abysmal read.
do not let those reviews sway you from giving this a read, as you stand to miss out on what is consider to be a thoroughly enjoyable YA book.
at times there are moments when the cliché does show itself, some names of characters and locations did make me chuckle admittedly. but considering this is indeed a fantasy novel, those seemed to drift away into an enjoyable story.
if you go into this with an open mind and not expecting what some marketing had claimed it to be (the hunger games with fantasy). then I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
the narrator does a good job of making this story come to life, and I can honestly say that I enjoyed the performance.
don't go into this experience expecting to be wowed by a masterpiece of writing, but at the same time don't go expecting a poor piece of writing.
all in all this was possible one of the most entertaining pieces of YA literature iv read in along time. the characters were enjoyable and well written, the story well explained and I for one can't wait to see the movie adaptation and to hopefully read more in this series.

Lightlark
I genuinely thought about giving up on this book. Between the rushed introduction to the kingdoms and character origins, to the narrator's inability to pronounce Isla correctly, I didn't enjoy the beginning. But I stuck with it and enjoyed it by the end. The twists were unexpected.
